Its for indoor use, my uncle is disabled and cant get outside, he uses it a lot, opening windows and things like that. He's had a few of the plastic ones and they dont last, the plastic where it joins the tube always breaks.

A TDC stop, it's even adjustable. It involved a lot of processes. A hammer and punch to smash things, a lathe tidy up the top where I may have missed slightly... A file to clean up a nut, a welder to weld the nut in. A tap to clean up the bit of excess weld.

I also made sure I was a muppet and promptly picked up the TDC tool after welding and promptly burnt my finger

This one does that. Just wind it in, turn engine over until it stops, mark. Turn engine other way and mark. Tdc is between the two.

Much more accurate than using a DTI.

Hence why I went happy with a hammer.
