knock, off tools

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??
