Tool Time
| Safety Wire Pliers
You cannot be a racer without these. Store in the top of your tool box for all to see. Learn to do elegant and functional safety wiring jobs. Men will envy you - women will seek you out! Five models available: |
All the bells and whistles: (1) Tigerwave jaw grip features a meshing smooth wave grip pattern to replace the traditional serrated grip which can nick and scratch the wire and cause subsequent breakage (usually just as you do the final twist on a complicated and remote wire job). (2) Cushion throat secures the clipped wire ends so they do not fly off into the nether regions of the shop, fuselage, chassis, (3) Auto spring return of the pull shaft. A great convenience in restricted access situations. (Look, Ma, one hand.) (4) Reversible twist rotation allows right and left handed twists. Experienced wirers will already know that the second twist really needs to be in the opposite direction to the first for the best functioning (and looking) wire job. These are the very best wire
twisters money can buy. Available in both the traditional 9" size and the more
ergonomic 6" version. |

Twisters: Milbar Aero Twister Robinson and Milbar are now owned by the same company, and they have relegated Robinson to the economy model and Milbar as the deluxe line.

Dzus Specialty Tools
Dzus Divot
Maker, Driver and Knife. The Dzus Divot Maker makes those nice little divots in
sheet metal for a professional look. The Dzus Driver has a specially shaped
blade to fit the curve slot in Dzus buttons much better than ordinary
screwdrivers, preventing camming out and burring of the slot. It has a fat
handle for better grip and leverage. Much cheaper than the Snap-On version. The
Dzus Knife is a two size right angle version of the driver, giving more
leverage and improved clearance in tight locations. The two radii mate
perfectly with the #5 and #6 Dzus studs.

This is a handy spring adjusting tool to
effectively set S spring depth. The DZ7301 tool eliminates the
need for various depths of S springs. It also
dramatically reduces the number of different stud lengths required for any
project. By properly adjusting the spring height, you eliminate troublesome
fasteners that are either too loose or too tight.

numbers. Simply hang the bolt from it's appropriate slot (which identifies it's
diameter) and read the dash number at the end of the bolt. Saves a lot of

through AN 78, AN 42 through AN 47, AN 173 through AN 178 and MS 20073 and MS

tools which are required. The CMT-4P3 pliers which depress the spring thus
lengthening the stud and allowing it to be installed in the grommet. The CMT-26

grommets.

Pop Rivet Tool
The everlasting Marson HP2 hand pop rivet setting tool. This is still

strong, several thousand rivets later. Comes with collets to pull 3/32, 1/8,
5/32, and 3/16 Pop, Cherry N or Q rivets, and even Cherrymax.

Bonney Wrenches "Bonney" Service Wrenches are the erstwhile AN fitting
wrench, popular for years in the aircraft and racing industry. Always hard to
find, these wrenches are a badge of honor among race mechanics. Real Bonney men
look down their noses at those clunky CNC'd aluminum copies now sold by AN
plumbing houses. And for good reason. Service wrenches are slimmer and more
ergonomically shaped than the aluminum copies and, being steel, can be
physically smaller - thus ideally suited for the tight confines of the race
car. |

Calipers |
|
| 6" Dial Calipers
Cheap Asian calipers for knocking
around the shop. At this price you won't mind so much when your brother-in-law
drops them after his third beer. Actually quite accurate. Everybody should have
a set in his tool box, if for no other reason to be able to order parts right.
All too many parts orders start with, "I need a screw." "What size?" "Ah, a
little bigger than the one I got." "What diameter is that?" "Ah, lemme see. Ah,
yah... it's one little mark less than a quarter inch." "Do you mean 3/16ths or
7/32nds?" "I donno - will it fit my hole I've drilled
out?" |
|
| 6" Digital
Calipers
For those who don't want to figure
out how to read the dials we offer this direct reading digital caliper.
Converts from inch to millimeter at the push of a button. Instantly zeros.
Comes with a spare battery. Good value. |

| Snap Ring
Pliers
You will eventually tire, as we did, of trying to make those stupid, universal, changeable-tip snap ring pliers work. Either too big, too small, too wide, or too narrow, and always too flexible. To end this frustration, we offer the following dedicated snap ring pliers: |

| One Man Brake Bleeder
This is the best solution to brake
bleeding that I've ever used: the convenience of a professional pressure
bleeder without the expense. Easy one man operation. Simply pour a small amount
of fluid, attach master cylinder adaptor, pump up about 10 psi pressure and
proceed to bleed your brakes - alone! No need to pay an extra helper or get
into an argument with the wife just to bleed the brakes. No steel parts to
rust. Uses minimal amount of fluid, reducing exposure to atmospheric moisture.
Easy to clean. Light and compact to fit in your racing kit or a small space in
your garage. Basic unit comes with screw-on adaptor that fits Girling master
cylinders (among others). Other adaptors are available for various Lockheed,
American, European and Japanese master cylinders. |
