KD tools makes one but I can't tell you who sells that brand. I have had one now for 20 years now.

do not use feelers or ramp type...buy the wire type they are pretty common...try www.snapon.com.....i know they are expensive but they have a nice kit they sell for 20-30 bucks that comes with all of them including brass.

Those Jacob's are cool I use one, sure saves a lot of time, just takes a bit of checking to get the gap right the first time, then it's a breeze!..

Just drop plug 3 inches from the ground for .035 gap. 6 inches from ground fo .018 gap for mags. Nothin to it.

I like this way of Gapping BUT is this dropping on Concrete OR Dirt??And do I have to allow for the Wind? I guess I need to stick with this way of doing it since the one from Summit only goes as small as .025 and I gap .018 for my Mag. :)

Has to be assphault. You should carry a chunk in your toolbox. You drop em wrong and it is your ass' fault.
You will have to adjust for peanut plugs or projected tip plugs also.

I have the jacobs spark plug gapper like the one pictured. The first time I used it, I double checked the gap with a feeler gauge and found that the jacobs gapper was off by several thousands. I "adjusted" the indicator pointer on the top to read correctly. I still check it periodically and have found since I adjusted it, it still gaps correctly. If you get one just make sure you check it for accuracy before you use it.
