Yeahbut:

Are any of these model#s better constructed than the other(s), to justify a
price difference, or are they all same-same?

Also, for a similar issue working on one of the new [post-'05] Guzzis w/ twin
plug heads, I just ground down a deep-well plug socket. [Gotta luv Harbor
Freight!] I don't mind buying the Honda tool, but if it is just a piece of
stamped&welded sheetmetal like most of their C-a-S toolkit plug wrenches have
been over the decades, I'd rather spend the $8 and a little time on the grinder
making my own forged socket that doesn't require any special connection to the
ratchet wrench... it looks plenty ugly, but works beautifully, & is less likely
to "spring" & strip off the sparkplug flats...
