My Impressions:
Pros:
Fastest way I know to install a stud in your track.Easily reach's any location on your track.
Sturdy zinc plated construction.
Cons:
None yet.Bottom Line:
Usually when you install the studs in your track you either push them in, or pull them with a pair of pliers. We decided to go with the Motion Pro Stud Installation Tool for our stud installation, and am I ever glad I did.
The Motion Pro Stud Installation tool makes short work of getting the stud into your track. You simply stick the stud in the hole, slip the tool over the stud as shown in the pictures above, and press the handles together.
All you have to do next is install your backing plate & nut and torque to spec, then off to the next stud.
This tool makes the stud installation easy, much faster, and you get absolutely no blisters or hand fatigue from using this tool.
If you install studs in your track you will need this tool!!!!
The bottom line is I found by using the Motion Pro Stud Installation Tool for my stud installation, the job went quickly, smoothly, and effortlessly. I would highly recommend talking a look at the Motion Pro Snowmobile Tools if you plan on studding your tracks. Just beware, because if your friends find out you have these tools, you might find yourself busier then you want to be.
