The BestAnyone that has helped build a Pinewood Derby car know the difficulty in the process of installing the wheels. They need to be straight. With this tool you simply hold the tool in the groove at the bottom of the car. hold the wheel with axle in position and push the nail into position. No hammer or tools required other than this guide. It even allows the proper spacing between the car body and the wheel. Best investment in building a Pinewood Derby you can make. 5Poor QualityI received my order today & I m very disappointed with the quality of this item. Don t know how this is suppose to align the axels when the forks are almost completely outstretched. The description says it s suppose to straddle the side of the car, that s not going to happen. I guess I m going to have to bend it & hope it doesn t break. Man, so much for having straight axels/wheels for my son s race next weekend. 1Essential for Pinewood Derby- Best purchase everLast year we struggled getting the axles on our son's Pinewood derby. It took forever to get them right and the wood started to split. I am pretty sure my son learned some new words from his dad. during the hour we struggled to get the wheels on without destroying the car.This year I purchased this tool because i figured it couldn't make things worse than last year. This went above and beyond my expectations. In less than 10 minutes (which included reading the instruction and finding a surface to rest the car on ) all 4 wheels were on straight and fitting much better than last year. My husband high-fived me as he praised this tool. So this tool works and reduced my husband's stress. If you have never built a pinewood derby car or have had issues putting axles on, buy this and save yourself the headache. 5Seems like once you put in one sidePurchased to install axles on pine derby car. Seems like once you put in one side, the opposite side is harder to put on as the tool doesn't fit perfectly due to the opposite axle already in the grove. That is why I took one star off. 4Worked Like A ChampTook the worry of screwing up the heart and soul of the Pinewood Derby Car, the axle slot. Nothing worse than building the car, polishing the axles, putting graphite on the wheels and axles only to destroy and split the axle slot and your kid looking at you like your a loser (yea, I'm that guy)Won't happen with this product! Instead of pushing the nail in on a table, I lightly tapped it in with a hammer, at least to get it started.Spend the $10 and don't ruin your son's car. 5Definitely not "pro" but amateur okI am not paid to submit reviews and only do so when I feel it'll better other shoppers. This tool is much easier to use for guiding axle nails into the pine grooves, but it doesn't keep them any more straight than a flat head screwdriver. It might be faster too, but I found myself having to restart half-way as there was an angle. Plus, you have to push or drive the axle in the last bit withoutthe tool anyway in order for there not to be a huge gap to the wood from the wheel. Save your money, buy a tool to angle the axle 15 degrees. 2An important tool for victory!I'd say this is one of the most useful tools for making your pinewood derby car go fast. You'll have all your wheels equally spaced and straight. Be sure to get the pro driller tool, too. This allows you to simply "push" in your axles. No hammering and screwing up the alignment! 5Only works for 1 side.Works fine for the first side of the car, but then the guide's groove no longer has enough space to fit in the channel cut into the wood block (because the nail on 1 side has already been inserted using the guide). The groove on the guide is too long- if you try to nail in the second side it will pop the first nail out. Maybe I'm doing it wrong- but the instructions are not clear and I'm pretty handy. So it's either poorly designed or not intuitive. 2Made the last step of our derby car a successAfter spending a few hours with my son on his first pinewood derby car, I didn't want to mess up the last step of inserting the wheels and axles. This tool really helped, especially after I found a video on YouTube that demonstrated it.I was worried that other reviewers said it didn't work on both sides, but it worked fine for me. The nail sits on the top of the axle slots, so the inserter guide of the tool still works when you flip it. For the first side, I just used firm pressure pushing down on a hard surface (making sure that I kept my thumb firmly applied to the tool to keep the inserter guide in the right place). I would check periodically that the nail was going in straight and slightly adjust if needed to make it straight before continuing. When I flipped the car to do the other side, I made sure not to push on the installed wheels. To do the final bit of hammering (with the back of a screw driver), I set the car between two boards so that no pressure was being put on the wheels on the other side. That allowed me to tap the nails until the wheel was flush with the spacer on the tool.It all went smoothly, and I'll use this tool for future derby cars. Good purchase! 5Inexpensive Tool Ensures Wheels Are Properly InstalledThis little inexpensive tool is now a part of our yearly toolkit. You can't see it from the picture, but there is a small ridge on the bottom, running from the opening on the piece of metal down the plastic to the other side. This ridge fits perfectly in the front and back notch when you are installing the wheels.To install the wheels, put the ridge in the notch and have the metal piece against the side of your car. The nail and wheel will install to the car and the metal piece and the ridge ensures the nail goes straight down the notch. Be sure to hold your thumb or finger on the axle inserted to hold it down, ensuring the ridge stays in the notch.The metal piece ensures you have proper spacing so your wheels won't hang up on the car. Handy tool to have, takes no time at all to install wheels. 5
