I've had these two tools in my tool box for years.
Trouble is; I have no idea what their for.

Can somebody tell me what their for?

The first one is a ball link reamer tool. As long as it is the same size as the balls on the swash and servos and such, you can put that tool into the plastic end, turn it, and it will loosen up the grip it has on the ball. Speaking of plastic end, the second black tool is to install those plastic ends onto the linkage rods. Just hold the rod with pliers and use that tool to turn it. Keeps from making your fingers sore.

Oh man!!
After all this time, (and I have a vivid imagination) I finally know what those tools are for!
The plastic linkage end reamer seems like something I'd never use because I've never suffered from tight ball linkage syndrome, ha!

However, the other one, I really could've used that babee when I was experimenting with the Align linkage ends on my HK450GT...

I'm laughing now!! Thanks buddy!
