Hey all.. found a very easy way to adjust the ram without having to have the angel tool kit. Saved me a lot of hassle. Take one small allen wrench, and put the long handle into one hole. Take a another small allen wrench, and stick the short handle into the other. By doing this, you easily adjust the ram by the using the long allen wrench as a brace. It should look something like a really funky cross

it's actually recommended in the old LED manuals that you can use snap ring pliers. Not new, but thanks anyways:wink:

i actually prefer using snap ring pliers over the ram tool, i have more grip with the pliers

i think ill make a tool that you grab onto horizontally to the ram, like those allen wrenches with the grip...then sell them for 20 bucks a piece.

why would anyone buy that for $20...

specially if the complete angel toolkit is $40-$50 or if you just need more grip for the ram tool you could get snap ring pliers for around $5.....

Well I was using needle nose first but my snap ring pliers are too weak to turn it lol. I have a tool kit and I like it a lot better.

honestly how hard is it to turn the ram. i can practically turn the thing with my barehands. no jk but i dont think u need a 4 ft long ajustable on something that goes in the holes to turn it. tool kit works fine for me
