Spinner Tool Use on SPF

[bnewell]

I bought mine used here on CC and have not personally used it. My local mechanic tried it without much success. He ended up using the lead hammer instead.

On the flip side, it is a beautiful piece of aluminum that I currently use as a paper weight on my desk. I always get the question from my
customers "what is it"?? So it does make a great topic of conversation.

looks like we all have different opinions. I guess it helped that I bought mine on ebay for less than 1/2 the cost......(smiles). I can tell you, if you are down to one ear and you have 2 stumps where ears used to be....the tool is priceless (it still can get on the broken stubs). But that was a defective spinner problem...so you may never get to that point.

I hope not!

So being that I alreadt purchased it and it will cost $50 to return it plus shipping (20% restock fee) is it worth keeping it as a backup, or should I send it back. . .

let it arrive and check it out. use it. make the decision from there.

I kept mine, based on the horror story about how to get spinners off, surgically, I'd rather invest in the aluminum paperweight that worked for me at least once. Compared to the price and destructiveness of the surgical method, it is a good investment. You might look at it another way, % of cost of one or two destroyed spinners or % of investment in the car (I love thisone..I can justify most anything..says "she who must be obeyed"
