Sealey VS5293 ignition lead boot puller

I bought the above to remove the ignition leads on my Fabia 1.2TSi CBZB engine, in order to remove the spark plugs.

This tool is not suitable for the boots on the ignition leads fitted to this engine.

I couldn't understand why until I read some of the reviews on Amazon. Basically, the handle is welded to the inside of the functional part of the tool and the metal rod of the handle stops the tool going down far enough for the tooth to engage with the lug on the metal boot. Apparently it works ok on Smart car engines; presumably the boot size is smaller.

I'll post a picture if I can to demonstrate.
