Glow plug removal tools #

Year of Manufacture *: Any
Engine Size and Code *: Any

Recently seen advertised a glow plug removal tool. It is like a small air wrench and the idea seems to be that it "Vibrates" the stubborn glow plugs free without risking breaking them.

Has anybody any experience of one of these? Do they work?

I have a vibra impact gun and I have mixed reviews on uts use. I have removed a few tight glow plugs with it but also broke a couple with it. With the tight ones that were removed I have know way of being certain they couldn't of been undone with a ratchet/socket and care but its just easier to use the gun.

I did persist with 1 plug that was very tight, plenty of plus gas and gently working up the torque range did seem in all fairness to persuade the plug to give in so I reckon its like everything it has some use but if its going to break it will no matter what tool you try.

I bought the bgs version but it does seem good quality.
