Kr wilson spring shackle tools in ebay
I’m surprised someone hasn’t bit on the Kr wilson spring shackle remover and installer set on eBay . Have had the luxury of mine for many years and it makes a difficult job like hot butter.

I totally agree about their utility, but wow, $1,500 for tools used only once in a blue moon (I know, I have them).

Gee, it didn't sell. Seller must be funding his retirement.

Re: Kr wilson spring shackle tools in ebay
I saw a spring bushing tool advertised, and almost bought it, until I saw that the bolt to push bushings through was only about 1-1/2” long, not enough to install/ remove bushing. Ones I’ve seen were much longer.

You can borrow a ball joint press from Advance Auto, make a couple threaded sleeves on the lathe and you are in business without tying up all that cash for one or two jobs. If you already have one, that's great.

Re: Kr wilson spring shackle tools in ebay
I have to ask , why would Larrys40 start 2 separate threads on this obviously overpriced tool? Seems a bit excessive

Re: Kr wilson spring shackle tools in ebay
Well now uncle buck. It was an accident... just that simple .
Lots of you guys by snap on tools I’ll bet and pay high dollars for them because they work better, yet you can go to harbor freight as well. I was just passing this along to be helpful. I’m an avid Krw collector and user and know how useful many of the tools can be. Amazing the variety of comments. |

Re: Kr wilson spring shackle tools in ebay
Larry, That's totally understandable and easily done. I have made many mistakes here often use the edit/delete message box. Keeping everything in one thread is more beneficial to all of us including yourself. If the thread can't be deleted because of posts, changing the heading to "please delete" is possibly an option. Back to the tool, It is a very expensive tool for the average guy for sure. It looks like what todays ball joint presses were designed after and they work well so I imagine this does too.
