Tire iron was really the wrong word. Lug wrench was what I meant, but this appears too light for that function. Also odd that it would say Edison for that function. I agree that it looks too shallow for a spark plug, but perhaps there were some with relatively stubby upper porcelain and terminal sections? Andy Well, actually lawn mowers and snow blowers have stubby spark plugs as you describe. Maybe Edison invented them too!! --Art ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

You need about 1.75 inches to get fully down on the hex of the plug I have and not touch the top contact. The hex looks like it is 7/8" between parallel flats. Maybe it is for something else Edison made, like battery post nuts or even a movie projector part.
