I bet this could be modified to work on some.Redfin I wonder if one of those square parking tools could be used as a clutch tool?

I like this. With a welder it makes it a lot easier to make your own. Using inexpensive sockets is a great way to make these.

It looked like some of the pics were missing from the last AS site crash. These threads are helpful but it looked like
the PDF for the template was missing from my view. I'd like to have the pdf of the jaw-side outline. The rest will
be no problem. Thanks for posting!

I'm pretty sure it was here on AS that I read of someone that drilled the side of the jaws of a crescent wrench to something very similar to this
Two tools in my shop couldn't do without are my welders and drill press.
This thread could be expanded and enhanced to include "Home Made Parts" in addition to tools. I have made many parts in the shop in an effort to improve the chain saw's design and operation and also to replace parts that are no longer available. Some are very subtle and easy to make. Others are not. Just thought I'd make that suggestion. Then there are components and jigs that fall somewhere between parts and tools. For example, I've made three of these saw chain spools that hold about 200' of bulk chain apiece. I find them to be an improvement over the OEM's cardboard:
Another view:
Made mostly of hardwood, the round sides of the spool are just 1/4" pressed wood or masonite, screwed to the ends. The axle is 3/4" conduit, pinned to the spool's 3" thick octagonal wood center with a couple of screws. This might be a bit fancy for you, but it could be simplified and work just as well. I can probably get three or perhaps even four layers layers of chain on this spool.

Could someone PM me with the PDF that has the layout for the splitter sides. This will be very easy to fab.
Thanks in advance

This looks interesting. Much like the Stihl seal puller. I wish I learned how to weld. Dammed quantum physics !!!!!!
I cant understand what it is he's saying the hooks are made of. some kind of spring steel; but what kind?

That boy needs to build a heater for his shop.
I wouldn`t want to be paying this guy $90. an hour to be fooling around with that rinky dink puller.

recoil steel AKA spring steel if I recall right. Something that will be thin and strong.

PA Dan, do you still have some of those splitters available?
no need a spring steel for the seal puller

OK. Here is the tool I made for helping to refasten the strong chain brake spring that is used on almost all chainsaws that Stihl sells today and upwards of 20 years ago or more. Doing it with a screwdriver is almost impossible, although I managed to do it after severe frustration using two screwdrivers at once. Stihl offered a Pic of one in a couple of service manuals and perhaps even sold it at a few shops. My dealer, however, never had one in stock, so I decided to make an equivalent. This one works:

Holy cow, I have one of those that I got in a box of random chainsaw tools, and I didn't even know what it was for.
