Wouldn't say I'm the weakest guy either, they are solid, won't budge at all
There is no-way you'll get enough torque when fitting the new one's in with that.
They need around 25Nm and it surprising how tight that is when using torque-wrench.
Especially on aluminium, it's important to get it just-right and not cross the threads as the others have said.
I have also seen 3 cars with rattling-loose spark-plugs when time came to change them..

25Nm isn't that tight....not much more than finger tight.
25Nm is tight as a...
Get a torque-wrench you tight git.

Depends if its a taper seat spark plug or one with a flat washer.
Normally tells you on the back of the packet how tight to do them up.

It does tell you on the packet.
Finger-tight plus 1/4 turn will mean rattle-rattle in no-time.
25Nm or thereabouts is what Peugeot says and that's tight.

I have one, but it only does 30nm to 120nm
Plus I use the better fuel anyway, I don't have need for spark plugs
Tesco Plus?
