Ball Link Tool for Piccolo

Anyone know where you can get a ball link tool for these 3mm balls, I have just broken one off my swash plate and apart from the usual profanity I uttered I decided I need a better mechanism for removing these links.

About half way down [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I think one of the older board members made and sold his own but his name escapes me .... and it escapes the search function too! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

hi
i had the same problem so i bought a standard steel one but its too big and the steel seems like it would tear up the plastic , but i did get a plastic pair at the local hobby store that work great for me i see them alot mine say "universal link out " on them ill try to find a link to them and post it here

The Ikarus pliers are junk. You get what you pay for. I ended up buying the Deluxe Ball link pliers, no comparison.

hi timbo
i have the delux set too ,mine are revolution delux ball link pliers rvo1005 , but my pair are too big to work on my pic , maybe the delux comes in different sizes? or different brands?

lol hogster you were so fast with that second link i never even saw it , must have still been banging my first one out , then when you pointed it out to me i thought you were talking about >my< second post lol and im like "it works i checked it!" oops lol, you may have 10 times the posts as me , but i have to be way ahead of you in mistakes by now , thanks again lol
