Ball Link Pliers
« on: January 08, 2012, 05:43:54 AM »
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-http://www.graupner.de/en/products/74b3c129-edbf-4528-a9c2-16b8da0e3271/1227/product.aspx] [url]http://www.graupner.de/en/products/74b3c129-edbf-4528-a9c2-16b8da0e3271/1227/product.aspx[/url]

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- http://rc.runryder.com/helicopter/t317910p1/

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.

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.
