    Default AK Hair Stacker Opinion

    Hi,
    I've seen an Ak Best hair stacker for sale. Now, I have at least 4 now, but is this better? Seems from the description that the inside "stacker" sits about 1/2" above the base, giving you some wiggle room to get the hair out.
    Any opinions?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks, of course I then had to check out my other stackers. They also have room at the bottom. So, I need to use them better!

    I do like the AK's as well. But have no reason to change.

    I have 4 or 5 hair stackers - my AK is the go-to favorite, but I can't really think of any reason why it's better than the Dr.Slick brass ones. Probably just because the size is right most of the time.

    Thanks Gordo, that is where I saw it. They also have the Bead Devil which looks good also.

    interesting subject..........I just hack sawed about 3/16" off the male end of my stacker because there wasn't enough exposure of materials after tapping. I used a 8" long wooden dowel, wrapped it with tape to make a snug fit with the inside diameter of the male end and then mounted it in a vise to cut. I then filed the rough edges down holding it with the same dowel arrangement. be sure there are no rough edges remaining
