A spark plug tool comprising:
- a flexible cylindrical member having a first end, a second end, and an outer surface extending in an axial direction between the first end and the second end;
- a plurality of ridges disposed on the outer surface, wherein each ridge of the plurality of ridges:
- rises above the outer surface in a radial direction, extends along the axial direction of the cylindrical member, and is spaced disposed such that a human finger may be positioned between the respective ridge and an adjacent ridge;
- a cavity configured for receiving a portion of a spark plug, the cavity extending into the first end of the cylindrical member and having a cavity wall configured for engaging a perimeter surface of the spark plug to install or remove the spark plug from an engine;
- and
- a weight disposed on or in the cylindrical member between a center portion of the cylindrical member and the second end.
