Don't change your spark plugs without a set of spark plug sockets.
Spark plug sockets are—you guessed it—sockets designed specifically to handle spark plugs. They come in sizes that fit snugly around most spark plugs, and good ones have magnets and a bit of rubber inside to keep them from falling out when you're removing or installing plugs.
Any DIYer tackling a spark plug change can benefit from using spark plug sockets. Unlike normal sockets, they actually grip onto the plug, making extraction easy. With a good spark plug socket, you don't have to worry whether the socket will drop the plug as it's coming out of the engine's head. Some spark plug sockets have built-in extensions, so you don't have to stress about the socket separating from your ratchet mid-replacement.
I've had a few cars where it would be next to impossible to use regular sockets to get spark plugs changed. My V-10-powered M5 and V-12-powered 850i projects come to mind, as they had especially tight engine bays. Not having to stress about the socket dropping the plug or disconnecting from my extension through a nest of wires and hoses made plug jobs way, way easier.
