Default spark plug wrench

What part number is the wrench for a 36. The 40 number is too big and the 81 too small.

40-17017 is the correct wrench for an original Champion #7 spark plug.

Maybe he has the larger B-prefix version wrench for 3X and C-4 plugs or maybe he isn't using #7 Champion plugs.
