wiggler set

[Garry Coles]

Hi everyone

I have a question about the wiggler set I bought recently.
It came with the tool holder and 4 tools. 3 of of them I know how to use, but the other one I can't seem to work out, or it could be that I'm just to old. It's the tool with the ball at one end that fits into the holder with 1/4" ball at the other end, but the shank has a bend in it, so it would seem to me as some kind of offset wiggler tool !!!!!!!!
Can anyone put me out of my misery.
Cheers
Garry

54 people did not know the answer and neither do I.

I have always wondered about the bent wiggler too......

Hi Garry,

Have a look at:

www.metalwebnews.com/howto/wiggler/wiggler.html

This suggests that the bent wiggler with the second ball is used to hold a dial indicator.

Hi Garry,
Just checked the J&L catalogue page 582 & they too describe the bent one as an 'offset indicator holder', but theirs have a ball one end (to fit the holder) and a stepped parallel section the other (probably to clamp the DTI to).
