I guess you've never had to adjust the carbs on a Steamer  :augie
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I got one of those through Morgan Carbtune, the second twist the bit came off the end. The bit is crimped on to the end of a wire drive, the crimp wasn't good enough and it failed. I'd not wanted to spend a lot but the failure and the poor "feel" made me change my mind. To be fair to Morgan (I've seen the exact same tool sold in a Sealy and Machine Mart package) they said it was the first time they'd seen that, accepted it without a quibble and gave me credit against a Bevel 90 Carburettor Pilot Adjustment Tool , pricey but you get what you pay for, a proper engineers tool for a proper engineering tool  :icon_lol:

The 100 degree tool is also useful for doing the air box screws in situ, I had one of those already.
