Bolting A Freewheel Tool To Trialtech SL Cranks

Not sure if anyone else has this problem but I've always struggled bolting a Cyclo FW tool to Trialtech SL cranks due to the fact the face of the crank is angled so the tool would slip as soon as you tried to turn the crank arm.

I just came up with a solution, take a crank extractor tool and unscrew the bottom that screws into the cranks. Screw it all the way in and then bolt the freewheel tool through the crank arm onto it. This way the bolt will stay perfectly straight and stop the freewheel tool slipping.

Obviously if the freewheel only has the 4 small locating pockets there shouldn't be a problem but with Echo SL freewheels this will hopefully help a few people out.
