    I was going to say I have no idea what it is but I need one. 'cept now I'd have no use for the silly thing, I try not to work on 4 strokes if I can help it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I was only kidding about the 10 points.

    Hmm, no points. You specifically excluded collets so you were diametrically opposed in your answer. You couldn't have been more wrong if you think about it from a certain point of view

    Won't fit the AS3(s) so to avoid the dissappointment and inconvienience, just drop the best one up next time you're through and I'll look after it for you.

    can I suggest a homicidal rampage to ease the beast within? If you can't summon the energy or the 12gauge you could always perform the task from the comfort of the keyboard. Maybe start a thread on what bike you should buy as a newly licenced learner, or perhaps ask if loud pipes save lives. Maybe offer your thoughts on Feet first motorcycles as the future or question if helmets actually do more damage than help?

    They come in plastic as well for a couple of bucks.
    http://www.sesdirect.co.nz/nylon-piston-stop

    Piston stop tool easy to use if you have to sort out flywheel in the field.
    Plus great for finding TDC which is half way between the stop when it is zeroed to halfway between both directions.
    available chainsaw shops etc.
    Double ended as well 10 and 14mm

    Black and Decker Power File. If your doing any kind of metalwork you will wonder how you survived without one of these. Great for taking down the tops of welds or casting flash and not as noisy/dangerous as free styling with a flap wheel on an angle grinder. Get the blue zirconium belts for steel.

    oh yeah that is quite cool. i never hold the crank with the piston, it just doesn't seem right & besides I have the chain for holding the flywheel directly so I have no need to. But for finding TDC I've made my own out of an old sparkplug. but these look nicer. Maybe when I'm past the mower shop on a walk I'll get one.

    Funny I was just reading about these in an old Practical Sportbike mag & thought it would be a good idea. hmm. 'undred & 50 notes. . . might have to wait for some special occasion.

    I admittedly was dubious, but it honestly it never marked it (the piston), and I guess the 40 odd pounds I used are lower than the cylinder compression. (albeit on a smaller area)
    Then again the rattle gun gets them off easy too. but I wouldn't rattle them up with one.
    A mate used to have a lpg cylinder with a Schrader valve attachment, for tyres etc, but I doubt it would run a rattle gun for long, but then again with high enough pressure or an N2 or co2 tank
    This was pre cheap 12 volt compressors.
    I always used to use a two cent piece between the primaries till I read how Cameron used to use a half gear to lock the primary drive.
