You end with no chances of maring up the shaft when you hold in the groove of a thread. Didn't believe it myslef but it's worked great for years....and it's free!

Yep, forgot about using wire cutters on the thread part.
Hmmm...wire cutters already in pit box, or $20 pair of 'shock pliers' - no contest

1. Get a piece of paper
2. fold it 3 or 4 times
3. wrap around shock shaft
4. use needlenose or regular pliers
common tools, a piece of paper (maybe an old setup sheet)
cheapo!

i just use a pair of "dikes" (side cutters) and hold the shaft on the threads, theres always one or two showing.

I always used the dikes as well, works great, get a dull pair though as I actually cut a rc18t shock shaft..
It's fun to for me to have 'the' tool for the job, you should see the crazy tools I have
...although it was fun to pretend I was McGuyver, lol

the only concern i would have about clamping on the thread (when using wire cutters, etc ..) is the risk of damage to the thread.
