I seem to remember it was a Yank tool (no offence ), advertised on the cheap in an over-the-top ad "for a limited time only".
I bet it was made of Brie, or a similar soft cheese. |
heard they just round nuts off, or pins bend/break under heavy pressure, gimic tool think it was on one of those "JML" ads ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

is a table of head sizes for Whit bolts.
And you are correct that normal (A/F) sizes are not an exact fit, but with a good range of AF there is something V close, which is obviously why I got away with it in the past.
