I know what your talking about, the cheaper tools will do that. You can make it work by tightening the end of the tool closest to the tube first, then tighten the farthest away second. Tightening the longer end of the tool last gives it more leverage to grip the tube better. Does that make sense?




Exactly what I do with the cheap HF one that I have. Run closest end down first then tighten the far wingnut. Works fine.


I'd like to have one of the better quality pieces, but, you gotta work with what you have and mine was free!
