What are you guys using out there on your B400's, is there something specific or do the universals work??

Mine too, but my balls are red uh I mean the rubber handles are red. I use them on my HBFP, B400, and E-Smart 600 and on the big one they help put them on too.

Nope, there is no part number but since they have been a big topic, I show them in a vid I am about to upload. I was surprised but there is no name stamped on them any where.

O.K., I'm making the long drive there tomorrow, (to get some parts) , and thought I would pick up one of these,.............I could have sworn I read somewhere on here that it is a special size pliers for the B 400, so, maybe not. Thanks

I know have people have said the pliers they have do not fit. I may have gotten lucky, who knows. All I do know is the head fits inside the link nicely and the slot fits the ball end.

They look exactly like mine except for mine have black plastic handles vs red. Right down to the machining. ;)

That's why the HTUSA near me has them. They carry a fair amount of their stuff. I love their scales.
And wahoo! Mystery solved. HeliMax (hum... I like that name) pliers are B4 friendly. :thumbup:

Those are the ones I picked up at our local Mom&Pop LHS. Haven't had the chance to use them yet (don't have my 400 yet) but when I do.. I know my "Balls" will be taken care of :)
