has any one used this tool to install clips on a 1.5 inch track? i have had it for a while and was going to replace some clips but the paddle relief is not deep enough, says its good up to 1 .25 paddle track, i havent tried it yet but was curious as to if it would still work? if it would crush the paddle enough to crimp? its a nice tool i dont want to buy another!!i originally got it to redo a track on a 82 enticer i rebuilt for my kids, worked great on that the lugs only quarter inch high!!

I would think it would collapse the paddle enough to work. You could probably nip a 1/4 inch out of the tool with a grinder...

ya was thinking on niping! but to take a quarter inch out it will be right at if not in the hole where the bolt comes down into the die, and the relieft thats in there is an inch deep so i think their alredy pushing it with a 1.25 inch track!

Ya...agreed. I don't see a die in the royal book for 1.5". I'd try it first as is. I used the bolt cutter style and the track interfered but you could work around it. I broke and fixed the POS tool 8 times lol. I wish I had of waited and bought your style of tool.

Yup..had it for decades...has a bit of a curve to it but it's taken many, many clutches off.

Ya I bought the Handel style from royal and it worked great did two sleds but stupid me reefed sideways on it to straighten a clip and she snapped off in my hand
Don't nip the tool, nip the track over the clips.
