I find that the ramp gives a better fit than a lot of wire type gauges and you can get an exact measurement that falls between wire sizes. I then use a wire type tool with the little hooks to bend the ground electrode to fit. Again, gently, and lots of little tweaks are better than one push.
I bought two tools, one wire and one that looks like a swiss army knife - I measured out the old plugs and there were all .028-.030
