Another Alignment Tool
#1

I have been following Steve's (Stall-U-Rated) thread on his 16B. The topic of alignment tools came up. Steve asked, why not make an insulated screw driver tip for the tool? To be honest, I had not thought about it, I have always just wrapped a piece of tape around a screw driver. This did start me thinking about it. I could not think of a good way to make a tip or adapter for the hex tool but, I did make a prototype complete tool. The tip has been turned down to .200 inch with a steel insert imbedded in the end. I can make a few of these if there is any interest.
