David, Dave and all,

@david:I used some tool with adjustable arms this morning but the
adjustability meant that the arms moved and slipped off under pressure. as
dave arthur said (thanks dave) the bentley request tool us1014 which is
non-adjustable. problem is that i have to buy that online and pay $60 and up
for it and wait a week or so to get it.
I am just wondering if anyone had luck with a cheaper, more generic tool
like the one from kragen i linked.
