    Yes, mine works great. It may not work for every car out there but it sure works for me. You really should try it. Just look at the pics above, it’s so simple what can go wrong?

    Supposedly a critical weld continuously gives-way under load.

    Many of these tools reportedly break and go into the trash First USE.

    Ok that may be true but it never happens to me, maybe some day plus I haven’t found anything close that can do the same job, maybe if you make your own but for $25 I think it’s worth it for me.

    Contacted Mike and order the same tool he has. Super simplistic and if I have problems I have welders! Looks like the perfect tool for the little 308 :)
