Just spent over $600 on a collection of Stabila construction levels. Where do the tool nuts meet for support and counseling?

Hi... forgot all about this thread, it's been a while.

The disc on the base plate, shaped like a piston crown, keeps the valves in place as the springs are compressed and removed. It also centers the cylinder head on the tool, while the small tab keeps the head from revolving. Maybe the tab is what you're asking about?

I often like to take my tool and ....ahhhhhh just forget it....

I love vintage tools that still function perfectly .. especially when they come in their own wooden box (like the old Starrett stuff). But every now & then, I'll settle for plastic ..
