Review on 🛠️ Effortless Installation with McGard 65300 SplineDrive Installation Tool by Corey Vaz

Black, Chrome, Red Cap etc. This tool gets bad reviews because the socket wall is thin and will break if you don't reinforce it. Drive nuts to suit my application come in sets of 20, 24, or 30. I didn't or didn't need lock nuts on each lug, and I didn't pay $30 for the nuts. 3 or 4 nuts will do. The McGard 65330 was perfect EXCEPT for bad reviews of the instrument. I couldn't find another head 13/16 8 slots so I decided to modify the tool. If you've got hands you can do what I did: it took me an hour to take the tool to the hardware store, find a galvanized pipe nipple that fits in the installation tool, another that fits around the tool, each Cut piece lengthwise and use JB Weld to epoxy the 3 pieces together. (1) I inserted one of the nuts into the tool and then inserted the electroformed tube into the tool from the other end until the electroformed tube touched the bar. Mother. I trim off the excess tube that is sticking out of the assembly tool and then sand the outside of the electroplated tube and the inside of the tool with a ScotchBrite sponge. Wipe down both parts, mix JB Weld 2 part epoxy (white and black 24 hour, DO NOT use clear 5 minute epoxy), apply to both surfaces and glue together. Leave it overnight. (2) Repeat the process for the outside of the torch and the inside of the electroplating tube that the torch will be inserted into. The assembly tool is now reinforced inside and out. I painted the reinforced assembly tool bright red so it's easy to see.
