Bosch are the ones I took out. Probably were the original with the car 180K miles on them. Had 1 low popper, and 2 pissers, 3 were OK still.
Never tried Bosnia's, so I can't comment on them.
MS sells a Glow Plug Reamer that is made by drilling out a Glow Plug and mounting the Reamer Bit in it. It comes with instructions and a skinny Bottle type Brush. Cost $38.95, shipping is free. (This is not an endorsement.)
El Paso Tool sells their Factory made one for a total cost with the shipping for $39.20. No instructions or Bottle type Brush. (Still no endosement.)

My opinion is thatgiven construction of their Glow Plug Reamer they could sell it for less and still make money.

So depending on your view of it you could say MS shows good business sense or you could say they over value their product.

MS clever because by supplying instructions they are able th charge more.
Adding the Bottle Type Brush is mostly a gimmick.

As an educated consumer I understand what is going on.
