HO Truck Tuner and Truck Spreading Plier Set

Our Truck Tuner reconditions your HO gauge railroad truck bearings so cars roll smoother with less friction. Simply insert the tool in place of a wheelset and rotate the shank. Truck Tuner's extra-sharp tool-steel cutter reshapes the bearing to the NMRA's recommended 60-degree contour and cleans out burrs and grime. Repeat for all bearings and your car is ready to really roll. Increases train lengths that locomotives can pull by up to 20%! For HO standard gauge trucks only.

Manufactured to precise tolerances, our hand-ground, individually produced
HO Truck Spreading Pliers are designed to slip between opposite ends of the wheel axle and backside of truck journal boxes when the jaws are nearly closed. A special compression spring offers just the right amount of resistance when you squeeze the plier, gently spreading the truck journals apart and causing the wheel set to effortlessly slip from the truck. Re-installation of the wheel set is just as easy. For HO standard gauge trucks only.

Nice combination, and they work well

by Christopher -

The spreader plier is very nicely made, nicely finished, and smooth. I didn't even feel or hear creaking from the return spring. Be careful because the points are sharp and I would take care not to set them near the edge of the bench because they are the most fragile part of the tool. These fit well in my older starter set cars, save for one old Bachmann caboose which was a really tight fit. Be careful because these give you a pretty high mechanical advantage and I actually snapped a old Model Power truck the second time I used it.

The truck tuner reamer is amazing. This allowed me to convert my plastic wheels over to metal wheels and they spin effortlessly now. I was able to slip the rubber ring off to allow clearance on some Talgo trucks that I couldn't convert over to body-mounted couplers (the ring goes back on fine).
