Best square truss?

Re: Best square truss?

I've used one of these for years in cabinetmaking, and other various "fine adjustment" operations-although not truss specifically. Would have thought this would be a preferred mallet-less marring of the aluminum.

Sorry, but on these tapered steel pins any rubber, compothane, etc. hammer does not get it. You don't need the mass, you need the sharp impact of steel to break the press fit the taper creates, and a small enough hammer head to get a swing at it from inside the truss. A clawhammer works fine for me. I expect a small shot filled ball peen would also be excellent.

I have used both Tomcat Truss and Global Truss, for the 12'' truss, I hung my audio system on it. It's roughly 300-400kg, it still worked good.
The Global Truss would be a little easier to set up, but Tomcat Truss is popular using locally.
