Neat Raking Tool with Spring

Postby sams choice » 7 Apr 2006 12:42

This is just a neat tool I made that seems to have a simple rake on the end, but it allows so much play with the pins it lifts them to the shear line because it will bend around the the pins. You just hold the bottom and lift it up so that the spring is half way as low as it could. the just sorta jiggle it around and it seems to work most of the time. It is basically a tool I use one dirty locks because it will evenly fight with the pins. Let me know what you guys thing. I know it doesnt look like much but I like it.

Let me know what you guys think. It is a basic "concept tool".

Looks like you've made a basic jiggler/rake/snapgun. Nice 3 in 1 combo.

haha jiggler and rake, no snap though. Just use the spring to push against the pins, so you dont have to yourself. And because you can kinda set the pressure on the pins you can do a constant flow over all of them evenly. But yeah, it looks like all three in one :D It has no snap though. The spring is pretty weak :cry:
