Instead of stacking a separate extension and risk misalignment, the OTC 6900’s one-piece construction fits directly into the cylinder head’s plug tube and accepts a 3\/8\" drive ratchet or breaker bar for controlled torque application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the built-in extension improve spark plug access?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integral extension eliminates the need to join a separate extension and socket, reducing wobble and making it much easier to guide the socket down the deep plug tube.
