Shepherd Micro Racing precision tools

Shepherd have released a small range of Shepherd Micro Racing precision tools. Equipped with high quality blue anodized aluminium handles, they are equipped with a special anti-slip surface that also offers the possibility to be personalized if desired. Right now the company is focussing on their gas powered roots and currently only offer a flat head screw driver for carburettor adjustment, an exhaust spring remover and a 0-14mm body reamer. The tip of the screw driver has been made of hardened steel which has been ground to provide a long life and a precise carburettor set-up. The exhaust spring remover can be used for both inserting and removing the exhaust system springs as well as adjusting the camber in the rear of the Velox, while the body reamer is ideal to bore holes in lexan bodies up to 14mm and is supplied with an aluminium cap to protect the tip from being damaged.
