ChrisF Posted March 11, 2021 Share Can someone explain to me (never heard of these things) what a spinner does?Mini ratchet. It can be set for clock, anti.clock, or lock. Very handy for extremely tight spaces. Will be trying it for longer bolts as well ... should be handy .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted March 11, 2021 Share Have to admit, in my head I was kinda reading it with the Ozzy man reviews and New Zealand Dad's voice hahah hey! I haven't got a kiwi accent! ... although apparently I don't have much of any sort of accent anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted March 11, 2021 Share Mini ratchet. It can be set for clock, anti.clock, or lock. Very handy for extremely tight spaces. Will be trying it for longer bolts as well ... should be handy .... Okay I thought so, but then what's the point of attaching it to a ratchet?

patches Posted March 11, 2021 Share Yep, agreed, I enjoyed the word selection.. " Spinny-spin", "Tappy-Tap", easy to follow. I'm swayed to look out for a cordless impact driver to supplement my corded Hammer Drill. I may have stolen some scientific terminology from one of my YouTube heroes... AvE.

patches Posted March 11, 2021 Share A grumble on hex bits; you can get longish ones but I cannot seem to find an extension as you would get with socket sets? Like these? https://www.bunnings.co.nz/ryobi-450mm-1-4-hex-drill-extension-bar_p0056799 Someone in SA must have them. Maybe not Ryobi, but I know Irwin makes them too.

ChrisF Posted March 11, 2021 Share Okay I thought so, but then what's the point of attaching it to a ratchet?It "is" the rathet ... except no arm. On the one side you can use various driver bits, on the other 1/4" sockets. Will give more feedback once I have properly used mine gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicycle Supply Chain Posted March 14, 2021 Share Here is my “I’m tired of tripping over my stand setup. Had a friend hone and turn the upright to fit my park tool clamp on it. Able to have the bike move 1.4m vertically. So BB at chest height to bike wheels on the floor. Clamp can swing 360 deg in both planes. Arm can swing 160 deg allowing me to move bike from work area to work Bench or swing arm out the way against a wall. Arm has an adjustable 1.5m reach.

Hopefully when I move into a new place I'll have the space to setup my bike stand again, I'll then look at giving it some more maneuverability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
