Free Axle Install Support
Axle Install Support: Free with Shippable Order
Due to the design of most pinewood derby wheels, it can be difficult to set the proper gap. On many wheels, including BSA, Awana, and Pine car, the recess of the wheel's sidewall prevents the axle from being fully inserted.
The Axle Install Support solves this issue. The support provides a concave post to support the head of the axle while pressing the axle into place. The Axle Install Support can be used with or without the Pro-Axle Guide.
Through February 8, 2011, you can add one Axle Install Support to your order at no charge. To take advantage of this limited time offer, click on this link: http://www.maximum-velocity.com/newsletterspecial.htm

Re: Free Axle Install Support
That's one of those tools that you slap yourself on the forehead and say "Why didn't I think of that?".
I can see this being handy in conjunction with the Pro-Axle Guide, but doing it before any cutting is done to the block. Clamp the Pro-Axle Guide in place and then tap the axle into the block. Then do all your cutting, sanding, and finishing before doing the final insert with the wheels.
