Placed the 3 equal parts on the 1/2" disk to fit in between each spinner fork, marked the disk & welded the pieces to the disk. Next I welded a 3/4" impact socket to the center of the back side of the disk. Smoothed the sched.40 blades to insure no damage to the spinners & then cut std. 3/8" fuel line 1 1/4" long & split on 1 side. To fit on to each side of the cut pipe/tool blades. It works the Balls!! It also only cost about $10 to 15 bucks & a couple of hours labor. But my spinner tool isn't shinny It's only painted flat black. But it does save the cost of a lead hammer every year or so! & allows for accurate torqueing of the spinners
so am i right in guessing this is a steel disk, with 3 pieces of perpendicular tube welded on it, coated with rubber fuel pipe and a socket welded on the back?....
