And I know many packs still require the use of the stock axle slots.
I have to tell you, this pro axle guide tool, is a blessing in disguise.
I recall my son and me, breaking the wood, trying to put axles in the slots and I do recall so many kids and parents doing the same thing at the work shops.
Totally feel for cub scouts who have to use stock axle slots. you can't go wrong here.
This is what happens so often , trying to put the axle into the slots.
Its, just a total bummer when it happens.
Now you can either hold it on with some pressure with your hand. But I like the idea of using a clamp.
The gap tool, on it, is nice. No loosing the other one out there, this one is mounted right on the tool.
after I used the tool, Here is a pic of the axle in the wood. way better then what Im use to seeing.
This is what I usually see, if the wood is not broken or cracked already. you can see how its not in there level, typical install I would always see.
A picture with the tool again, after I used it.
I give this tool a
especially kids and parents new to scouting and cub scouts , pinewood derby. and have to use stock axle slots.
It also puts some of the building back into the kids hands ! It's going to provide more accuracy and better axle alignment, then not using the tool.
I was impressed.
