Default marcparnes ignition switch tool
Hats off to Marc. I ordered the ignition switch tool he is making. Best 25 bucks I have ever spent on anything in my shop. Tool works perfect, and I got it shipped to my door in Little Rock from California in TWO DAYS!!
Thanks Marc!

It works great. Just give him a PM, but I think DAWG already found the web site.

Nice tool.. like any normal guy I LOVE new tools. Question I have... is this tool necessary? I have had my ignition switch out/back in a few times already, and have not had any issues. Maybe I just got lucky?

His wheel balancer is another winner. Several years ago I collaborated with three friends and we all bought this, a Harbor Freight tire mount, and some other miscellaneous stuff (RuGlide [tire lube], rim protectors, etc.). We've been mounting our own tires and this balancer works great. It's gone up in price since we bought ours for $75, though.
