<p class=MsoPlainText> I have the Spurlock jig of which you speak, I
think. AS far as I can tell it does NOT work with shanks installed. Is this the
one you're talking about?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Yes,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Spurlock does make a jig that does work nicely. Its
gotten me through some <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>bad times before. Like all Spurlock tools, it works
wonderfully in my <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>humble opinion. I was shocked that no one had brought
this up sooner in <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>this discussion. Guess most folks were sleeping in late
like me... Oh, and <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>you can use the Spurlock jig with hammers that are
already installed on <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>shanks, which is what is being asked.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>>I think Spurlock also has a jig similar to Rogers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Roger has two jigs one for the right the other for
the left side.<o:p></o:p></p>
