True - the plugs for the snow blower are between $5-10.00 each here, likely
cheaper on Amazon.
Thanks all.

Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] Spark Plug Cleaner
Have heard--no hard data--that blasting damages the polished coating on the
ceramic insulator (that's what blasting is for, after all). I think, given
how relatively inexpensive plugs are that it's not worth the risk.

I'm looking at plugs for several cars, snow blower, etc. - and wondering
whether the cleaning is known to damage the plugs. I don't recall that
being an issue when I used them years ago, nut I do confess that the newer
plugs seem to be made of more exotic materials.
Thoughts?
