Spark plug replacement

I read a Car & Driver article where they are long-term testing a 2022 718 GTS 4.0. It indicated that they took the car in for service at 30,000 miles, which includes spark plug replacement, and it stated that the dealer did not have the "special tool" needed. They had to take it back once the dealer acquired the tool. Does anyone know what that "special tool" is? The article did not state. I changed the plugs on my previous 2014 Cayman S myself, and the only special "tool" needed was long extensions and alot of patience.

The tool is here: https://www.gaudinporscheparts.com/oem- ... 1872190061

It's a very specifically machined spark plug socket. I have a video all about it you can watch here:

You can rent the tool for nearly free from me here: https://www.jetfuelgarage.com/product-p ... -0l-engine
