    There was a thread on here recently about doing battle with replacement HT caps. These hellerman mini boot stretchers are the nuts, cant get any easier than this.

    Easy to get orientation right before releasing.

    Used them 40 years ago putting rubber sleeves on co-ax cables I'd soldered up. Thanks for the blast from the past.

    I don't have a 500i, but I have filed off about half the length of the spikes on my 088.  I find this better for crosscutting and milling. The remaining metal protects the main body of the saw, but you can still dig in a bit if needed.

     

     

    De-rail Sorry. If I'm milling with 881 or 661 spikes are off. Gives an extra few cm on the width and the mill acts as a fence to save the saw. Doesn't ta long and benefits outweigh time lost.
