Spark tester and bump start

99.9% of the time I work on my cars by myself. Mostly annoying when having to breed brakes / clutch and testing for spark. In trying to make my life easier, I'm looking for a good bump start and Spark testing tool. The screwdriver in the spark plug wire is getting pretty lame.

anyone here recommend a good spark test tool and bump start?

A GOOD used spark plug,LIGHTLY clamped in pair of vice grips and laid on engine will both hold and ground plug,cheap,easy. Remote start switch can be bought(inexpensive) at most auto parts stores. Can also be purchased from tool suppliers,more expensive.
