It was recently suggested in a thread to use ACME threaded rod to make the home-made spring compressors that are so often discussed here. I agree this would be a good idea, but an internet search proves surprisingly dissappointing. There are lots of sources of ACME threaded rod in commercial quantities (including custom made) but virtually nothing in small amounts. I've even thought of buying a couple of cheap scissor jacks and robbing the shaft (although I don't know where to get the nuts).
Anyone ever find this stuff somewhere ?
Cheers,
Jeff
