Octogonal wheel spinner tool

[Jas]

I have had this Octogonal wheel spinner tool made, but now I don't know where to put it, it just seems too pretty to lay in the boot with the spare tire.
What do you think?

Front Door Knocker??

Certainly too good to use.

Could you post a picture of your rear hub bearing press tools. And of your front spring compressor. I'd like to see your standard in these.

.What do you think?

I think if you have a flat tyre and are stuck in the rain on a deserted road then you ARE going to use it got to say it looks good though
PS. Think you need to get the bar that fits into it renovated......looks a little grotty
PPS. Another suggestion would be to fit a tyre onto the wheel as it would be a bumpy ride without it

Sorry Garry the rear wheel bearing tool is only a section of pipe with cut outs in it, but it is stainless though.
Yes I will work on the rod, maybe I should get it chromed...

Hi Jannik, It's a thing of beauty and it does not scratch the chrome! Where to place it? I put my three eared spinner tool on the coffee table as a conversation piece and nobody could identify its use.
You should market them as I get emails asking if I have an octacon type tool.

Jannik, I would like to see a photo of your stainless bearing press tool.

I expect it to fully polished and beautifully machined of course!

That's excellent. Looks very nicely made.

Jannick, Did you end up making a version with a hex shaft, so that it can be used with a torque wrench? Thanks, Dan

Well, if you don't want to put it in your boot I think I could find a place for it in mine

Very nice work.

Would be cool if it doubled up as the petrol filler cap.

Hi Dan

I have only made one tool with a hex, so that I could see what it was like.
I tried to first tighten the wheels with the ?rod-tool? and after wards with the ?hex-tool? and a torque wrench, and there wasn't much difference. The wheel nuts just tightens to a certain level and then go no further.

But I can have some more made if anyone are interested.
They would look like the one in this picture and cost about ?65 or 80 euro.

Hi

I still have a few spinner tools for the octagonal spinners if any body is in need of a Christmas present.
They are 80 euro, 70? or 90$ incl. bag but less postage.

Send me a PM or drop a line here if you are interested.

Cheers
