and its a bloody good bit of kit and cost bugger all really, saves me using the drift in the future and he seems to do them for a lot of bikes

£12.....

For the amount of times I remove a swingarm I'll stick with my drift.

I'll give you £6 for yours ;)

I bought a set for use on my SV (not needed them for my NC23 yet). I'm pleased with them, just remember to have them seated squarely as they can slip easily but this I think is more of an issue with the nut design then the tool.

And having seen the mess a drift can make of the nut I'll stick with the correct tool. Plus I'm not sure how easy it is to get an accurate torque setting with a hammer and drift?
