Never seen this before, thought maybe the evil Dr might be interested or perhaps someone else. No affiliation, just thought it was kinda cool tool.

Already ended, but did not sell. I was actually looking for one of these recently. Thanks!

He had a "make an offer" on that auction...probably would respond to a off auction offer so he doesn't have to relist.

Already on it, just awaiting a response

You might want to check with Baum tools to see if the original is still avaialable/$.

Here is the original, its 2-pieces:

Contacted the guy, bought it for less than list Thanks for posting this. Now I can do r/p setups. This will save more transmissions.

I have one that looks pretty much identical to that one. As far as I can tell nobody (such as Baum Tools) makes these. All you can find is older examples of the original tools (which may or may not have all of the parts) and the repro version that are typically created by using an early 911 diff housing.

Setting the pinion depth is conceptually pretty straight forward with this tool, but it can be tedious/time consuming.
