I used that socket + wobble extension combo and it worked extremely well. The ratchet you can use any 3/8" one. However, for the hex bolts on the coil, I recommend you use a 6mm hex bit (or whatever size the hex bolts are. Don't quite remember) on this low profile set http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00947477000P Works very well on the hard to reach ones.

Guess I'm lucky to have a couple of the Snap-On wrenches and extensions already in my tool box. I don't think my socket was Snap-On though, still worked fine. Because it was not tested nor approved doesn't really mean much to those in the trade.

One hint on removing the plugs, make sure to either use a socket with a lock on it (to lock to the extension) or some duct tape to keep the socket connected. If you don't the vacuum in the engine will keep the socket on the plug and make it a hassle for you to remove once in the tube.
