So I have a Nitro MT...And through all the years I have wondered is there a tool out there that helps with putting the glow plug back in? Like a spark plug socket has the gasket in the bottom to hold onto the plug as you start your thread. Every wrench I look at dosent have anything like that and its always a pain to get the plug back in. I have resorted to keeping an old ez start wire and attaching to glow plug and starting thread that way. Then tighten with wrench.
Any Body know of anything?

A small piece of fuel tubing into the socket or a magnet will do the job. Somw glow plug wrench have a retaining clip or magnet.

...with this, there's a tweezer like device inside the plug holder. Works very well, especially on Turbo plugs.

Yeah my local HobbyTownUSA had the losi wrench in stock too...I am giving the magnet wrench a shot sence it was a few bucks cheaper.
Still in the middle of my winter clean and rebuild.
Thanks again guys for all the great help
