I'm fitting some new forks, anyone in the Chelt/Glos area got a Star Fangled Nut whacker-inner tool that I can borrow?

If you've got a crown race smacker-downer that would be cool too.

Biscuits of choice can be supplied in return ๐Ÿ™‚

If you're worried you'll bash it in squint, try this... Get a bit of threaded M6 bar (or a really long bolt, I use some random bolt out of a motorbike engine) and find an M6 washer about the same size as the inside of the steerer. (make sure it can fit through the bottom, some steerers narrow). Then, thread the bolt/bar through the SFN so it sticks out the top by enough to hammer on, and drop the bar with the washer into the steerer. Et voila, hammer in, impossible to get it squint.

ID on some steerers is too narrow...
ID on some steerers is too big...

I've tried them on a couple of frame / fork combos and found them to be a PITA

Raises the question, would you lend an impact tool to someone who called them whacker-inner and smacker-downer? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Reminds me of the Halfords mechanicl when I was a kid who called the front mech a "double clanger".
