you can use a regular socket but the plug socket is not only the correct depth, it has that nifty rubber ring so it holds onto the plugs when you go to pull 'em out, and you don't drop them when you're putting them back in.

Sage advice from alltracman, doing plugs is one of those things that's super easy and it's easy to forget to mention those details! It's SUPER important that you use a little anti-seize on the threads, and screw them in by hand and use the handle for tightening. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN them though!

And really, really, really - get new plug wires (also called ignition wires), cap & rotor and do it all up at once. These things wear out just like the plugs do. It's almost worthless to do the plugs and not the others. Search Amazon for the NGK wires; I got mine for forty bucks, (of course brand new) which is the same as the cheap nasty wires in parts stores, and about twenty bucks less than they charge for the NGKs in-store.
