The Pro-Bore Polisher will improve the speed of your car by reducing friction inside the wheel bore.

1. Eliminates plastic debris and minimizes flaws inside the wheel bore



2. Polishes the wheel bore to a high shine



3. Includes industrial-quality plastic polish

The Axle Extraction Pliers greatly simplify removing nail or pin axles. The curved and grooved jaws of the Axle Extraction Pliers provide strong but even gripping power on the axle head, minimizing the risk of damage to the axle, and giving maximum leverage to the user. Just grasp the axle head and gently remove the axle with a twist-and-pull motion.

The Pro-Axle Press II will improve the speed of your pinewood derby car by performing three critical procedures on nail type axles:

1. Axle Straightening - Ensures accurate wheel tracking by creating absolutely straight axles. Improved wheel tracking equals greater speed!



2. Axle Rounding - Ensures accurate wheel rotation by creating absolutely round axle shafts. Improved wheel rotation equals greater speed!



3. Head Squaring - Ensures proper wheel rotation by squaring the axle head to the axle shaft. Improved wheel rotation equals greater speed!



4. Head Beveling - Reduces the contact surface with the outside wheel hub. Less contact equals faster speed!

and an added bonus:

4. Raised Wheel and Alignment Adjustments - When it is necessary to purposely bend an axle (to raise a front wheel or make an alignment adjustment), the Pro-Axle Press II serves as a handy clamping device for holding the axle while making the bend.

The Pro-Rail Rider Tool works with the Pro-Axle Press II to put a precise bend in an axle for alignment adjustment and/or for running with angled axles. When coupled with the Rail-Rider^™ alignment technique, significant performance improvements can be achieved.

Notes:

1. A Pro-Axle Press II (Part 5130) is required to use the Pro-Rail Rider Tool.



2. The Pro-Rail Rider Tool will implement either a 1.5 degree or a 2.5 degree bend in an axle.

The Pro-Axle Guide will improve the speed of your pinewood derby car by ensuring accurate mounting of axles:

1. Axle Insertion - Ensures accurate mounting of axles (in axle slots) to improve alignment. Accurate alignment is critical for top speed!



2. Wheel-to-body Spacing - Establishes the correct gap between the wheel hub and car body. The proper gap minimizes car wander and reduces excess contact between the car body and the wheel hubs.

and an added bonus:

3. Reduced Risk of Block Damage - During the insertion process the Pro-Axle Guide provides support to the wood around the axle slot, minimizing the risk of damage.

The Pro-Body Tool II will improve the speed of your pinewood derby car by:

1. Axle Slot Preparation - For kits with axle slots, the Pro-Body Tool II ensures accurate axle positioning by allowing you to drill accurate axle pilot holes into the existing axle slots with a hand drill!. The pilot holes ensure that the axles are mounted square and true on the car. Improved axle mounting accuracy equals greater speed!



2. Axle Hole Drilling - For races which allow axle holes, the Pro-Body Tool II serves as a guide for drilling accurate axle holes with a hand drill. Again, improved axle mounting accuracy equals greater speed!



3. Raised Hole - The third hole (Part 5140 and 5145) allows a raised hole to be drilled for running on three wheels.



4. Axle Hole Re-drilling - For kits with the screw and 3/8" dowel rod axle system, the Pro-Body Tool (Part 5148) allows you to accurately re-drill the axle pilot holes.

Now drill all holes with one setup! Based on the Pro-Body Tool II, the Pro-Body Jig allows the distance between the front and back axle holes to be precisely set, and then repeatedly applied to multiple blocks. As an added bonus, the Pro-Body Jig allows the center of gravity of the car to be slightly lowered to enhance stability.

This handy manual drill is great for pinewood derby cars. It accepts drill bit sizes from 1/64 to 3/32 inch (a #44 bit works great), and allows easy rotation of the bit. Unlike many pin vises with small handles, the large wooden handle fits comfortably into your hand, and allows more firm pressure on the bit. You can use the pin vise to:

• Drill Axle Holes - On soft woods, use the Pin Vise with a Pro-Body Tool to drill accurate holes without damage to the Pro-Body Tool.



• Clean out or open up axle holes - Are your axle holes too tight, or did paint clog the holes? The Pin Vise provides an easy way to open up holes without compromising the accuracy of the hole.

Brad Point drills bits are designed for boring clean and accurate holes in wood.

• The 25/64" bit is sized to allow easy insertion of the 3/8" lead wire and the tungsten cylinders.



• The 7/16" bit is required for the WEDGE, the WEDGE GT, and the ROD.
  Note: This bit is sized for drills with a 1/2" chuck. It will not fit in a 3/8" drill chuck.

We also offer a #44 drill bit for drilling holes for BSA axles.
