Was looking around on the net for adel tools (I'll be doing this soon enough) and saw these on the ATS website. I have no experience with them but another option at least.

I bought 3 off eBay yesterday. Two for gifts for A&P buddies. I had posted a link to the eBay page but apparently I ran afoul of the rules because my post disappeared. Either that or I forgot to hit "Submit Reply"!
Search eBay for "Adel 560 Tool" and you should be able to find it. |

The Tool
Looks like a cool tool, but how does it handle the case where you have two adel clamps together like in my photo with the hemostats?
|
Hemostats
I have about 5 or 6 different size hemostats that I buy in the Fly Market at either SNF or AirVenture. They work very well, come in several sizes, are straight or curved and are really cheap. They also have a ratcheting mechanism that allows one handed use.

Drift pin
I always find that when I use the hemostats the clamp holes don't line up. So now I use a 3/16" drift pin through the clamps first then clamp them.
And +1 for safety wire. Although I usually cut it loose after the bolt is tightened. Otherwise those tails will find skin:eek: |
