Spring Tool for Older Easy-Fire Hinge Assembly is Missing

  1. The special tool we used to make for assembling Easy-Fire spring-loaded hinges is no longer available. 
  2. People have had good success using a long heavy screwdriver to do this - one about 18" or so long. If you have an old tool like this and you don't mind grinding a notch in it so it doesn't slip on the round surface of the spring that would be helpful but not absolutely necessary. Just be very careful because of the intense forces.
  3. You could always get a retrofit kit with the new style hinge also if you have to. 
  4. Hinge for 10-Sided Easy-Fire
  5. Hinge for 12-sided Easy-Fire
