A better way to change Whisler style adapters is here. The revolutionary ESCO Whisler Plus® Adapter system eliminate the decades of problems associated with using large sledge hammers to install and remove c-clamps and wedges.
The Whisler Plus system is designed to permit hammerless adapter installation and removal on Whisler style lips. The Whisler Plus adapter is held on the lip by a threaded Torque Wedge pin and spool. These components allow retightening as lip wear takes place.
The Whisler Plus adapter coupled with the SV2® nose ensures that your adapter and point assembly is a completely hammerless system which is safe and efficient to use.
