What tool do the Pro's use to fix Rad fins?
Is there a special tool available out there that helps straighten out bent radiator fins?
Anyone have a link or a pic of one? Thanks, -a |

GO TO HOME DEPOT they have a fan/brush/comb thingy for it... I picked it up at checkers or autozone (cant remember) for like 6 bucks...
And they told me if they didnt have one go to home depot and get the ones that clean the ac units!!! Cause if you were to use a screwdriver, buy an 8ball of crack, a few redbulls, and call in sick for a cpl days... Cause it probably takes forever... |

problem with the fin straigheners is they only work well on stuff like home a/c condensors-where the fins are straight.
screwdrivers work just fine provided you have the patience. |
It's the wedge shape that's the problem with a screwdriver. I've found the flat pliers to be easier and faster to use. I don't recall that they were expensive either, so I think they're a good buy.
On the other hand, thinking more about the fin rakes, I haven't found them to be very useful-- the one I have has tines that are either too closely spaced or too widely spaced for the fins on any of our vehicles. |
let's just practice the fine art of not fucking the fins up :D

Hey, it's not me-- it's those pesky giant bugs and gravel trucks ;)

oh the gravel trucks!!!!!!!!!!
i got 2 big dents in my hood from rocks that flew out of one of those bastards.... company accepts no liability--there's no way to prove it except my word against the drivers. |
