Sparkplug wire boot puller

Hello.
Just got this 94 Ranger with the 2.3l engine. Slowly doing work on it as time and weather permits. I'm getting set up to change the plugs and wires. From looking at the engine and what I have read, it can be a real adventure, especially the drivers side plugs. I'm wondering if a wire boot puller would be worth the investment. Looking at something like the following:

Thanks

If the boot is really stuck on those will tear it! You will need actual plug wire boot puller. And even then it is a pain to get to some. For me it is actually faster to pull the upper intake off.

It's actually not that bad to change out the plugs from the driver's side, you just need some long socket extensions and U-joint socket to get to the plugs.
