What materials are used in crafting the tools?
Certain keys are crafted from zinc, distinguished by a grey color, while others are made from painted steel.
Are all these tools necessary?
Many of the tools come in two variants. Take the assembly key for G2 pins, for instance, available in both manual and drill versions. We advise the manual version for individual use. However, for larger docks, having both versions might be justified if time saving is important. The same principle applies to the assembly key for nut and the piling bull.
How and when to use the extracting lever?
As piles continue to sink a little throughout the season, you may need to use the extracting lever to remove them. You must first remove the white pvc sleeve to see the galvanized pile. Insert the extractor on the pile and tighten it securely with the bolts in the 4 corners, about 6 inches (15 cm) from the dock. Use a car or farm jack to push on the extractor lever until the pile is out of the ground.
