Torpine turnbuckle assembly tool

Torpine have introduced their new ball joint and turnbuckle assembly tool that is usable with both open and closed type ball cups. The design of the tool allows the assembly of a complete rod in one operation without damaging the ball joints, as it can happen when using pliers. To use the tool, the ball joints are inserted into the corresponding fittings on the left and right hand side of the tool and the turnbuckle is placed in the middle fitting. Then the outer brackets are pushed towards the turnbuckle so that the thread is right in front of the ball cup. Now the turnbuckle can be rotated with side pressure and a suitable turnbuckle tool. When the desired length of the complete rod is reached, the finished rod can be removed from the jig.
