Broadhead wrench?
 
Where can I get a good that's meant for a 4 blade? I picked up 2 packs of slick tricks today but the BH wrench they had at Cabela's is a universal one and only puts pressure on two blades. I want one that is designed to put pressure on all 4 blades. Any suggestions?

No, but thanks. That's not much different than the one I saw at Cabela's.

I think I'll just chop a 2 inch section of an old broom stick then put 2 criss crossing cuts in it.

USe your hand/fingers? why do you need a wrench to tightena broadhead onto a shaft? buy some leather gloves, or just use some foam.....or just figners/something.

Becausewith slick tricks, tightening the BH onto the shaft also does the job of securing the blades onto the head. It's not like on a muzzy for example where the blades are fixed to the BH first then the BH screws onto the shaft. This is why you have to make sure they're tighter than hand tight.

Thought the same thing when I first got mine...still may be true, but I know I just tightened them with my fingers, shot for weeks into my broadhead target, then shot a doe, buried the arrow about 5" into the ground and the heads never loosened, nor did the blades.

Not a good idea if you like your fingers!:DIf you dont need your fingers by all means use your hand to tighten down those broadheads![:-]

Heres a cheap idea ... how about taking an old t-shirt ball it up and crank with your fingers?
I know the slicks are sharp but you shouldnt have any problems doing it this way;)

Matt I did one time and sliced the tip of my thumb off![:@]So I will stay a boy and do it the correct way!:D

with the muzzys never had a problem, I'm careful and it works fine, very tight etc.....but I understand if these slick tricks need wrench type tightness that may be a different story.

Agreed. The only safe way to tighten BH's are with a wrench. I personally need all my fingers to work correctly in order to do my job and make a living for family, so if not using one is a sign of "not manning up", I'll take the heat.
