Now there is a question for JEOPARDY!. Douglas, I think that Bosch is building (assembling?) stuff in every country in the world, and I think that where something came from on any given day might be a real crap-shoot!

I once had rims that said 'made in West Germany'. That told me how old they were.

I doubt your plugs are that old besides, it's a moot point. Spend more time driving, less time thinking. It's easier that way.

Something wrong with the factory tool for this job that comes in the kit? Never got one of those stuck before....

alton: Nothing wrong at all ! But, the tool of choice for people who might need to do plugs multiple times in a day, day after day, the 3/8th drive socket with magnetic insert proves to be the fastest, easiest to use, and most long-lived, of all the available choices.
