SSTEEL Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Long way from home eh? Sydney. Depending on how long you're in the UK, why not buy the tool off eBay? Edited September 7, 2015 by SSTEEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbolaVirus Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'm not planning on doing too much work. I did bring my drivers and rodico just in case. I'm over here for 18 months on my honey moon, living out of a suitcase so I'm supposed to be packing light... It's not easy. Sent from my Guide using the Sub-Etha Net.

Sent from my Guide using the Sub-Etha Net. I have opened mine in the past with some duct tape.... the decent sticky stuff... just roll it in to ball with sticky side up the size of your palm ish then press it hard against the CB grip the excess and push and twist make sure the sticky area only covers the CB area... so you sort of need to shape it mate...

EbolaVirus Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks for the tip Pete. I tried blue tack which has worked for me in the past, but no go.I'll try duct tape or just take it to the local horologist.Sent from my Guide using the Sub-Etha Net.

PeteM Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 The duct tape has always worked for me mate on every rep I have had... you need the stickiness on the tape so must be decent stuff and pretty thick so for example sellotape is no good generally...Once you got that and shape it so you can get a good grip on it and push firmly into palm of your hand and turn you will feel the CB release...
