Best Review on Align AGNK10338A Ball Link Plier
To be clear, these are not a toy but an important and useful tool. When I first started working on Helis I thought I could remove and attach ball links using my hands or traditional tools. After breaking a few connections, I very quickly realized that these are a basic required tool for heli pilots. I use this pair on Align 450 sized helicopter and they work wonderfully. I have used these on Align 450SEv2, Align 450Sport and Align 450Pro and they work equally well on all 3. They are a bit small for the really large helis (600-700 sizes).
These are the top end, high quality ball links. The pliers are well made and feel good in my hand. You can tell the quality of the casting and workmanship when you compare these to lower end versions. I really like the curved tips, there are places where you really need to have just that bit of a curve to help you get inbetween things and remove/secore the link properly. I also keep astraight pair as there's time and places where one or the other works better.
If you work on RC Helicopters and don't have a pair of these, I promise you will be happy with a pair. They will save you time and money in broken links. Mine were recently stolen in a vehicle burglary and I didn't hesitate to replace them with this very same set.
5 stars, the best ball link pliers I have and I use them all the time.
excellent tool for our helicopters, provides a comfortable and safe operation, so you do not damage the ball link. certainly an essential tool of our stock.
BalasHapusThese pesky ball link joints were a pain to remove, especially when you want that perfect tail rotor hold when you first power up and take off, which often requires fine adjustment with the link disconnected from the tail rotor servo. All the linkages on the swash plate, head, and rotor also are in very tight spaces, so these pliers come in very handy there as well. I use this tool for my Hausler 450 SE V2 RTF Electric RC Helicopter, which is essentially an Align 450 clone. It's a perfect fit. I even use it on the Double Horse 9116 plastic joints (although pliers are a bit big for the Double Horse 9116 15" 2.4GHz 4CH 4 Channel RC Single Blade Helicopter Gyro Big 450 Size mini heli). Removing the "hook" from the ball link is no longer a chore with this tool.
BalasHapusThe pliers are solidly built with good ergonomics. Although I thought it's a bit pricy, it works well for me.

Works well on the MJX F45/F645 plastic ball links. Haven't tried them on the Hausler 450 but since this heli is a duplicate of the Align T-Rex 450, they will probably be just fine. Well made plier.
