Wonder how many it would do before it was dull?

Looks like pretty aggressive teeth. I dig it though.

Plug chop is an old wives' tale. It only does wallet damage.

Does the plug get reused each time? I don't get it. How does that not affect compression?

plug chops are sacrificial.

um, not sure about the colorblind thing but darkness and location of ring is what i look for, old manuals have the pictures in black and white, thats how i learned.

We used to chuck plugs in a lathe and cut them up to look for the carbon ring on the electrode.  Works very well when you do a proper plug chop.  Looks like this would do the same thing.
