Hi guys, Just a word of caution about using the tuning lever as a plate tightener. After a few years my nice tuning lever broke at the threads (the weakest part) from using it this way. My advice, spend the bucks and get the 1/2" drive sockets ( slotted and plilliips) from the tools trucks that service garages. I use them for many shop uses and they will last forever. My tuning levers are for tuning and wacking noisey dogs.
