Default New Tool I've Been Using

Here is a vid I put on youtube today. There may be others, but I hadn't seen anyone using/doing this yet, so I thought I would share it. Pretty handy little tool.

Check it out.

I like it. But the first time you cross thread one of those wheel nuts, it's not gonna be pretty.

Hey Harry....That seems to be a lot of people's response, and I keep saying the same thing.

When I first started using it, I TRIED to get it to cross thread and couldn't. And even if I use it for a year and finally cross threads...so what. You're talking about 10 bucks in parts and four minutes to fix it, if it ruined both the hub and the wheel nut? Heck, we racer spend more than that in pizza most weekends. Not a huge deal.
All I can say is that I've been using it for several months now and it hasn't cross threaded on me yet. And, I am just sharing what has been a great tool for me. It doesn't matter to me whether anyone tries it or not, cuz there is nothing 'in it' for me. I'm not selling anything, or promoting anything.

Happy racing!
