This is a great tool that every Model A owner needs, to efficiently and easily fish out your broken bendix parts from the fly wheel housing. It has a durable / bendable rod that is 24" long, with a cap on the end which prevents the sides from magnetizing to things when your fishing it down. The cap is held in place by the magnet and then pushes up once it bottoms out. For coming off the snap on truck 15.00 is real cheap.. This almost feels like your bending a piece of fat solder but it really holds the shape nicely.

A 2' length of 1/4" plastic tubing with a 1/4" diameter magnet 'stuffed' in the end will accomplish the same.
Sorry, no prestige 'Snap-On-Logo' ........Comment

Each one will do something the others won't do.I have one of those Blue Point ones,on that one I bondo'd the steps on the end.Then I sanded it into a cone.I actually use that one for most magnet jobs.I have an earth magnet in the end of a vinyl tube that I made for adjusting the steering clutches on Bobcat skid steers.When (not if) I drop the 9/16 wrench down between the chains the tube will change direction as I feed it down between the chains.Same thing pulling it back out.I have one made with a length of thin solder for retrieving 9/16 sockets out of JD crawler steering clutch housings.I have another one with an earth magnet epoxied onto the end of a 6 foot brake line,I made that one to retrieve a key that was laying under the edge of a seat in a locked car.Turns out that one gets the most use of all.It works great for picking up sockets,wrenches etc. that I drop under something.Comment

Mitch, I took your post seriously and had a recent need for it. The addition of a borescope would have saved a lot of time and frustration.Originally posted by Mitch View PostOK

Here is a simple jig that I built that should make centering your brakes a little easier, at least the measuring process.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Here's a tool I haven't seen before, and was wondering if it's like a common 3 jaw chuck, which would grab with smooth sides?
Last year I finally bought an expensive SnapOn stud remover kit, which has threaded collets to really grab the stud by the threads.

I searched the forum as best I could and did not see one of these in the the alignment posts. Has anyone tried one of these?
