Posted by 0-6-0 on Monday, May 11, 2009 12:48 PM

Hello I am looking for a truck tuner I seen one at Micro-Mark. But was wondering if Walthers had them? I am putting a order together and could not find it if they do can some one give me the part #. Thanks Frank

Walther's may have one but I cannot find it. Reboxx also has the Exact Socket. Could not find either in Walther's.

Your mileage may vary.

 Micro-Mark seems to be the exclusive seller of the truck tuner gadget.

 Micro-Mark seems to be the exclusive seller of the truck tuner gadget.

I think there are 2-3 manufacturers of similar gadgets. I got mine at a show from "Micro Mark like" store. It was just called "The Tool" Can't find that at Walthers either.

It would be nice if someone made one with two cutting ends so that you wouldn't to reverse the tool and spin it again. Has anyone seen one like that?

  I called them to order one a while back but I didnt because I didnt want to pay $12.95 shipping for an item that weighs half an ounce. Their shipping charges are terrible and they wouldnt come down on it.

  I have the Reboxx version.I cringed at paying $12.00 for it but a half dozen formerly bad rolling cars later I now tend to think of it as the best investment I've ever made in to HO/On30 parts of my hobby

  I would highly reccomend this tool or the Micro Mark version to anybody in HO,or On30.
