1. A spark plug gapping tool, comprising:
a first side handle and a second side handle each extending from a respective proximal end and a respective distal end, the proximal ends of the first and second side handles configured to be gripped by a user;
a middle handle pivotably coupled in-between the first and second side handles, the middle handle having a proximal end configured to be gripped by a user and a distal end including a stopper surface and an insert slot configured to receive a feeler gauge insert; and
a pusher pivotably coupled in-between the distal ends of the first and second side handles, the pusher having a hollow housing configured to receive a terminal end of a spark plug;
wherein the distal end of the middle handle and the distal ends of the first and second side handles are configured to move closer together to reduce a distance between the pusher and the stopper surface when the proximal end of the middle handle and the proximal ends of the first and second side handles are moved closer together by a user's hand, so as to gap the spark plug.
