What engine were you working on? There was no way the plastic coated pliers would fit into the spark plug wells on my 103 engine.
I totally agree with the use of the silicone grease. I use it on the edges of the distributor cap in my pickup to keep moisture out, on all electrical connectors (except the O2 sensor), spark plugs and wires, relay connectors, and fuses. It really helps to keep moisture out and contacts from corroding!
