I do not have a drill press and have bent the axle using a hammer and axle flaring tool. Between .5 degrees or 1.5 degrees... is the silver bullet the best option out there and can I use it without a press?
you will need a drill press to use the Silver Bullet. They are fairly inexpensive at Menards or Harbor Freight.
A drill press is also handy for polishing axels if you don't have a dremel tool
