So tell me skywalker, does it use the force?

Seriously, does it work and how well? Can you post instructions?

Chrispy,
Yes it works fine "Light Tension" brilliant on all tubulars in the workshop.
Then only a day after making it had a opportunity to pick a 7 day old Harley Davidson I was successful in under 30 seconds, the bike owner was "Gob Smacked"

YES IT WORKS......................

Wow! That looks like its manufacture made! Bravo!

Haha I see the southord contributed parts. :lol:

I think since he broke his factory made one, he took the parts from that one, and he just made the handle from a piece of rubber. I have no idea how he made it, but its well made lemme tell ya.

Post some instructions on how you made it please.

Crispy,
When you say instructions i'm unsure of what you require.

Is this it you made me clean up first............... :wink:

A lathe and mil is all that is required oh and your imagination/measurments will be needed to create such a tool.

Nice setup lsnb

by **Chrispy** » 9 Nov 2005 5:20

So there's no MacGyver style to make this tool?

by **Chrispy** » 9 Nov 2005 5:22

And it's Chrispy.

Cheers. :wink:

Are you saying there is no lathe or milling machine in the workshop chrispy? Or are you saying your too lazy and don't know how to use them?

Got BIC?

by **Chrispy** » 9 Nov 2005 5:27

Whatchu talking 'bout Willis?

All I was after was some instructions. If I have access to the tools, I'll make one.

by **skold** » 9 Nov 2005 5:31

You don't need instructions, (unless you are unable to operate the mill) All you need is the measurements from the tubular lock and then make it look something like the online ones on the lathe and mil.

SIMPLE

Good luck Crispy
