Subject: Pietenpol-List: go/ no go tool--- a must when using Nicopress toolsShad is right-- there is a slotted flat plate of steel with 'stepped' U chapedspaces machined into it where you slip the appropriateU slot over your completed nicopress sleeve to see if it slips in with no problems--ifit doesn't slip in you have not gotten a good tight nicopressand the assembly should be trashed and made over. There are adjustments on the nicopress pliers so you can tighten the jaws a bitto make good, sound, nicopress presses if you're not getting'passing' nico squeezes. Mike C. PS-- my tool from whomever I bought it from came with the go/ no go gauge and Iuse it on every single nicopress junction I make--take all of 2 secondsto see if you've got a good press or not. ________________________________________________________________________________
