Hi everyone,
My current ball link pliers don't work all that well on my Synergy helis as they are a touch too small and chip the pivot balls. What brand pliers are people using for Synergy? Thanks very much.
Cheers

I had a pair of Align ones which also were too small. I took a Dremel and rounded out the U shapes a bit more and they work lovely now so that may also be an option for you.

I use the Graupner Ball-Link Pliers-

I don't recall where I purchased these, but they do have 'Anderson' stamped on them.
I just looked at my old posts on RR-

I gently touched them with a dremel tool to keep from scuffing the control balls. I have been using them since the N9 was first released.
Hope you can find a place in the states to purchase!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the quick replies I appreciate your help. I am rebuilding N9 #2 at the moment and it is getting frustrating. I will have a look at those links.
Cheers

Hi Scott,
The ball link pliers i use for my Synergy's are the Robbe pliers (S1360), these are very simple pliers but they are spaced just right for the Synergy ball links.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Ross

I had two pairs of ball link pliers, took a Dremel to widen the space on one pair.
