Posted by Kurt B on 11/26/2007
Featured by B3NJ4M1N

this is a fairly easy tool to make and will save you lots time. you will need
1" pony spring clamp
3/8 x 8" carriage bolt
two hose clamps
some athletic tape
total cost is $7.oo and takes about a hour to make. I truly love this tool I use mine every day.
good luck
