[Shop-talk] Spark Plug Cleaner

[Al Fuller]

True - the plugs for the snow blower are between $5-10.00 each here, likely
cheaper on Amazon. 

 

Thanks all.

Have heard--no hard data--that blasting damages the polished coating on the
ceramic insulator (that's what blasting is for, after all).  I think, given
how relatively inexpensive plugs are that it's not worth the risk.

Anybody still using spark plug cleaners - such as the small air powered sand
blasters of old?

 

I'm looking at plugs for several cars, snow blower, etc. - and wondering
whether the cleaning is known to damage the plugs.  I don't recall that
being an issue when I used them years ago, nut I do confess that the newer
plugs seem to be made of more exotic materials.

 

Thoughts?
