glow plug reamer
 
What does a glow plug reamer do. How often and when should one be used. Are they necessary or usefull or just another useless tool to buy and use. Ray

use it before installing new glow plugs. it reams the carbon out of the holes.

I use it when ever I change out glow plugs. Personally I consider it a necessity.

Where do I get one?
 
Can I get a reamer at any auto parts store, or do I need to order it from Fast Lane?

What kind of crazy looks will I get when I ask the kid at the local NAPA store?

I've cleaned out some carbon from glow plug holes with a drill bit. Choose the right size, twist and work it in and out. Don't forget Never-Seez on threads of new plugs. Steve

I doubt that a parts store would have one but any tool supply company worth it's salt will,
