Need picture of pliers for bending prop blades

[Mike Caruso]

Guys,
I am looking for some pictures of pliers or whatever you use to tweak the blades. My stock Revolt is pulling an X-645 and I would like to tweak it a little. Maybe add some cup as it throws too much water into the air that should be pushing the boat.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Regular pliers will work. Grip the tip like so then bend (twist) tip upward and toward center of hub about 1/64"-1/32". This may not be perfect, but it works. Thank you properchopper

I am not familiar with the Revolt. The x442 may be a better prop to try this mod on. Or maybe the m445 like the one in picture. Be sure to thin and sharpen well also.

Another Alternative

As prop cupping technology marches on, many exciting new devices come to the forefront

Behold the "Properchopper Super Hi-Tech Prop Cupping Anvil" - A few gentle taps with your hammer and a nice tip-curve results

Available for just a few bucks at your local Thrift Store and comes with a free corner lamp (or to the left of your couch while She's not looking)

Thanks to both you guy's.

Detox the pliers in the picture along with you explanation is fine and yes very shape and good balance job a must.

I just ran the Revolt with a M-645 runs good but had to shim strut .005" on the right side only to make it run straighter.

Im nervous doing anything other than sharpening and balancing..

I picked up these pliers and so glad I called to order as the guy on the other end builds Gas boats. He knows props and actually took the time to ask me what I was working on saying oh yes electrics today very fast but small prop diameters. He said you need me to weld a smaller ball .250" on the pliers for you I fix them up and ship it out today. Are you kidding me what Great Customer service. I give him a rating of 5 Props the best.
Thanks for the link my friend.
