Drop one of these MIP THORP Speed Tips in your cordless drill or screw driver, I got the 2MM hex one and it cut my 8 Shooter build time into less then half, just make sure you go slow so you don't strip out you holes in your bead lock wheels...

those things are a must have for sure!!! and i do hate putting together a wheel...
 
thats why every set of locks I've had in the past havent held, that exact reason.
 
Mine have 80 on my proline 8 shooters and 144 on my proline 40 series bead lock wheels, so this bit will come in very handy...

Very good point. :hehe:

Yeah I thought so, I could just here some one getting one of these bits, throughing it in a 18 volt drill and stripping out all there bead lock holes, and then going I didn't know any better...:whhooo::hehe::p::D
 
i use something simular in my little battery screw gun. its HUGE help!! i have !96! screws in my beadlocks!! between setting my hard foams, lining up my tire, rim and beadlocks it still takes 45 minutes to do all 4..
