I've had an Anti Splat wrench since I built the plane. It's a useful tool but it's still a PITA chore.
Being more curious than practical, and since a good friend told me my bolts need to torqued to 65#, not 55# (verified), so I need to clip my wires and start over (yippee!), I'll pick up an .032 safety cable tool and 50 cables/ferrules this afternoon. Spruce has them in stock and I'm tired of fighting with prop bolts. It makes no sense for a guy needing to pull three cables but it looks cool, I like cool toys, and cool toys are never practical. I wonder how many cables I'll screw up to finish three pairs of bolts?
FWIW, per Grant's advice I looked at Ebay for a cable tool. Most of the used tools don't include a nose piece. The ads say what you see is what you get. I found that odd. Maybe I'm missing something.
