Hi RyneZ06,

You can send payment via Paypal to: Ramair69gto@sbcglobal.net for $ 30 for the Tool, or $ 50 for the Tool package with the cylinder air fill tool. If you want to send a check or MO then PM me and I will send you my shipping address. If you pay via Paypal I will email you when I receive payment so you know I got it. Thanks for your interest.

Tim

When using this tool do you tend to break bolts or studs off in the head?

Default Use Tim's Tool With Confidence

Tim's Tool was designed for safe use without causing damage to any engine components. Many parameters were taken into consideration to assure adequate performance without the concern of causing damage. The heat treating and tensile strength of the stud was chosen carefully, as well as the specifications of the nut and the thickness and composition of the body of the tool.

Tim's Tool has been used hundreds of times and I have never had a report of any engine component damage. Even in a extreme instances where Tim's Tool was improperly used such as with an impact wrench or when the keepers were not unlocked prior to use, the only thing that happened was bending the tool itself. Even then, the tool was able to be staightened and reused.

Beware of inferior Knock-offs. I have heard of some problems with homemade imitation tools, especially when a bolt or improper stud was used.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, I am really glad it worked out well for all of you. This Tool is truly extreamily easy to use and really make a spring swap an easy project and NOT a nightmare like it can if you have the wrong tools. Thanks again everyone who has purchased a tool from me, as I do enjoy making these to help others with a great, inexpensive product that will save headaches.

Tim
