Harmonic Balancer Install Tool

I have seen several threads showing a home made tool made out of threaded rod, washers and nuts. I live in northern VA and could not locate any metric threaded rod. A good source to order it is Pointe Products Inc. 588-949-2040. They also have a web site. Reasonable prices and quick service.
