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.

Regards
Gerry

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 :cry: got to say it looks good though :mrgreen:
PS. Think you need to get the bar that fits into it renovated......looks a little grotty :lol:
PPS. Another suggestion would be to fit a tyre onto the wheel as it would be a bumpy ride without it :lol:

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!

Regards

Gerry

That's excellent. Looks very nicely made.
