So fate has intervened and this program will actually continue. Mr. Donald-the-Bonald has sent a warranty replacement for the original tool, but in my haste I purchased another tool from Ebay (a non Donald-the-Bonald version because I'm cheap). So, in my attempt to return that tool, since Mr. Bonald was sending a replacement, they offered me a partial refund and allowed me to keep the tool. Essentially, this other axle tool cost me a total of $35, though I cannot guarantee the quality of it.
What does this mean? This other tool is now offered for permanent loan to the users of this forum, since I now have a second tool from Mr. Bonald's warranty replacement. If you need it, let me know, and I'll get it sent out to you and then you will be responsible for getting it sent to the next person. No more need to track where it is on my part, coordinate the next person in line, etc.
