Default i agree they do suck...

at the min find the one that has a wire that you slide in the plug.

the round disc ones are ok but the entire thing is a bevel so you really don't get a correct gap...but it's better than nothing i suppose.

Default I use the blades. find a set that has .028, .030, .032

FYI - NGK plugs come pre-gapped at .032 and I usually put them down to .030

2nd Blades are the way to go. Never used anything but.

Just use F6DTC's and there is no need to gap. :-)
