I saw this on another website, and it looked pretty good. It's inexpensive and is supposed to grip any size sparkplug when starting the first few threads.

I have used a few inches of fuel hose, vinyl hose would work, stuck on the end of a sparkplug to help you reach into those hard to reach plugs.

why not just use the rubber insert in the spark plug socket?

Handy to keep in bike took kit, especially when dealing with hot plugs at road-side, and avoid burning fingers. Such as replacing a fouled plug, or reading plugs after a throttle chop.

Good Luck! :)
