usually that'd be a screwdriver, or for the ones with a small hole, something like an allen wrench that fits the hole snug
or do you mean the metal ferrule around the door handle?

If its the same as a 37 ...and I believe it is I have the tool. I purchased it back a few years ago and decided to keep it. By bought it I mean the vendors will take them back and give you your money back (or they use to) but I decided to keep mine. I've loaned it to several guys.
I'm not sure what the postage would be to you and back vs buying one these days but we can find out!!
Let us/me know what you think.
A word of advice here. I tried to do it without the tool and the ferrules will get loose and waller around messing up the paint.
Another word of advice a fellow bolter gave me is to put an "0" ring around the ferrule on the inside before tighting it with the tool and it will be tight and stay in place better.
Heck, I even slide an 0 ring on the ferrule before putting the ferrule through the door and my opinion is it is much better. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Thanks for the offer and tips guys. I will let you know how I make out. | | |
