Does anyone make a positive knockoff tool other than what is availible from the various retailers.

Which knockoffs do you have? The safety knockoffs that take the bronze tool? (Your car came with them) Or are you looking for a GOOD tool for the eared type?

Thanks for the reply Jesse, I have the two eared type. I haved mated two woodend knockoffs with screws and an now going to fabricate a metal sleave and "johnson-bar" attachment to the wooden tools in order to gain leverage.

I have a very few really well made ones available. I had a guy I know (custom furniture maker in New Orleans) make me 10 out of maple sandwiching an inner core of softer mahogany. I use the test unit a lot, and beat the you know what out of it (5 years so far with no breakage) I have a couple left, mostly I supply them to customers. Not cheap however. I had been hoping to sell a buch to justify having him take them to a CNC woodworking shop to cut the cost down to something approaching reasonable. These were hand built, and therefore expensive. Seemed like a good idea at the time....

I bought an all metal one many years ago with a long handle so nothing to hammer, the fitting over the two-eared knock-off cut grooves in the knock-off, do not buy that one.

Hello Jesse and Jay,
Thank you both for the input to a knock off tool. It ended up I purchased two wooden ones, sandwiched them together, inserted metal plates at the points of contact and then made a long metal lever to apply leverage. Finally got them off and re-assembeled with "never-sieze".

Now the hot start issue??
