    Dave,

    Do you ship to Hong Kong? I just tried to order 2 on your web site but it says no shipment option available. Be happy to give you my FedEx acct number to ship it out to me.

    Beautifully made product I must say!

    Regards,
    Wayne

    Hi Wayne,

    Thank you for the compliment. Yes, we ship all over the world but we turned off the international shipping on our online store because for other items, we have no good way to automate it.

    We would be happy to use your Fedex account if you prefer, however USPS Priority would likely cost less.

    I will email you when I get to the shop later.

    My best,

    Dave

    I've done quite a bit of work on my 308QV in the past few months, and the part that I love least about the process is reinstalling the tires.

    Lift, check, try bolt - nope - drop tire, rotate, lift tire ... ok, I'm definitely on the hanger stud ... no, I'm not... damnit... why did I buy a Ferrari ... I'm too old for this crap where is my kid he should do this for me because I'm an awesome dad... no you can't drive it, just put the wheel on ... where are you going...

    Yeah. I kinda hate mounting the tires.

    Saw these around Christmas, and meant to buy myself one but got distracted by baked holiday treats. Finally pulled the trigger on Monday, and got it yesterday.

    A very nice tool, and great quality. The keyhole on the end for an allen wrench is a neat touch. Given all the machining and the perfect amount of protective oil that was applied to it before it was shipped in the nice protective case - I'm honestly not sure Dave is making much (if any) profit on this tool. It costs less than a good pizza, or that jumbo-sized bottle of Advil you reach for when you finish installing all 4 rims without one.

    Everyone says the first thing you should do when you buy a Ferrari is change belts, hoses, fluid, and delete the stereo. Errr - no. The first thing you should do is order this tool, and then change your belts.

    PS: The StickyRX tool didn't make those nicks in the rim. Those were there when I bought it. (And sadly, the tool didn't make them disappear.)

    These are the handiest of tools! We've been using these on all kinds of Ferraris at the warehouse. I just wish there was a set for my Fiat!

    Good question... I have no idea. I did a search and it turned up "M12x1.25" which sounds right to me. I hope all is well. :)

    Wow Dave, you just made my day... Thank you so much!

    I will certainly post photos. The Abarth has white wheels and is a MAJOR pain to keep clean!

    P.S. I have to head to Albany at the end of the month. Maybe I'll stop by and treat you to lunch. ;)

    It's nice when I get a chance to use our tools :)

    Blew a tire in my Maserati a couple weeks back and installed new rubber yesterday and got to use the wheel mount tools for the big, heavy rear wheels :)
