Leech Forceps - Long. Stainless Steel Metal. Our forceps are a strongly recommended leech tool to use with any type of bloodsucking creature. Whether you are keeping medical leeches for therapy and clinical use or you are buying leeches for pets, leech forceps are a must-have and a go-to instrument to use in handling leeches. These forceps allow quickness, exactness and gentle handling of the Hirudo Medicinalis, especially during Leech Therapy (Hirudotherapy) procedures with patients. When you handle leeches with your forceps, you are avoiding the possibility of leeches biting you or sticking to your rubber gloves. Once a leech gets a hold of your hirudotherapy gloves with its powerful suction cups, you will have a very challenging time removing it. This applies to just about anything that a leech gets a hold of.  Medical leeches will suck tight and won't let go, unless this helpful tool comes to your aid and pulls you out of a "sticky" situation. Handling your therapeutic bloodsuckers or pets with this long gentle instrument is really a breeze and you will find out very soon how true this is! Even when your leeches arrive in the mail and you have to pull them out of their protective bottles, you will find this job to be easy as 1-2-3 with the help of leech forceps, however, without them, it will take you quite a while to deal with that and you may have to pry open or cut open the bottle, to manage to get them out - you will be glad you got the forceps to make this job seamless. Not to mention the level of professionalism that this tool will give you, as a budding or even experienced hirudotherapist. The leech forceps increase your credibility with clients and patients and enhance your work preparedness and ability to handle therapeutic hirudotherapy work by ten-fold. Furthermore, if you are raising leech pets or keeping lots of leeches in jars or leech containers and growing your Hirudo medicinal leech collection or even trying to breed leeches, you will definitely need to invest in this tool, which makes all leech-related tasks (such as water changing) so incredibly easy and fast and virtually fool-proof. The tool also gives you the ability to swiftly move your bloodsucking creatures around, back and forth, transfer them into new containers change and upgrade their leech lodge to a new environment with moss, rocks, and more leech indulgences. We feel the forceps tool is a must-have for anyone dealing with leeches, period. This incredible product is also one of the two best sellers in our leech supply shop (number one being the leech jars).

Worked for Volvo Penta SX Gimbal Bearing
Very heavy tool, I was surprised. Pulled my bearing like it was nothing. Putting the new bearing in was a little more difficult as you have to drill a hole in the engine alignment shaft where it will work for your particular outdrive. Not hard, but it does not come pre-drilled as the required depth for each particular gimbal bearing differs by manufacturer and model. Measure your bearing placement before removal and check that it was installed correctly in the first place. The bearing should line up with the grease fitting and the o-rings on the drive shaft should end up riding in the middle of the bearing. once you have your measurement drill the hole, I used a drill press. I suppose you could use it on multiple outdrive models as long as you can drill more holes.

Great value
This kit worked perfectly on my Alpha one mercury outdrive. I saw a lot of people mention that it was a hassle to drill the hole when you better have all this alignment stuff. I threw it in use my regular drill drill guide and then the second hole was lined up. Pulling Gimble be very easy. I did have to adjust it up at an angle because my bearing was sitting in their crooked and it came out the second time I made the adjustment to the angle. I would highly recommend this.

Unfinished product - doesn't work - waste of money
in order to use this as an installation tool the directions tell you to drill a hole through the 2 inch steel rod..... either this hole should already be drilled, or this should not be advertised as an installation tool..... it will not install any bearings without extensive modification and requires the use of a drill press or a lathe. very dissatisfied that I now have to buy ANOTHER tool just to finish this job because this one doesn't do what it's described to do.... piece of junk... typical amazon garbage.... this is why I haven't used amazon in over a year... they rip you off with garbage.... I should have known better .... don't buy this junk .... Now they say 20 -30 days to get my refund .... Don't waste your time

Good tool, but must be hand drilled to accept bearing installation cup
Good tool, but you have to drill a hole in the bearing installation rod to accept the cross bolt that locks the bearing installation cup onto the rod.
