Is it easy to take down after set up and what type of socket wrench would be best for setting it up?

i haven't taken it down, i guess you mean take apart, but i assume it would be easy to take apart. it is very easy to move around on carpet or tile. don't worry about a socket because there are tools that come with it. the tools work but a socket might be faster. i literally had zero problems putting it together. just remember not to tighten your bolts down until you get them all about 3/4 way or your tower will woble.

I have never taken it down since I assembled it, so I can not answer that question. Also, all tools needed for assembly are included with the tower.

I don't remember the sizes of the sockets as I have a socket set and I just picked one until it fit and used a channel lock for the other side. You would have to basically disassemble it to get it through a door, except for the top chinup bar.

the same device you use to set up the same device you take it down with if you loose it the head of the bolts are hexagon.

Thanks a ton. Very helpful. In your opinion, is this worth a DIY adventure or is there not much to be saved in calling someone to setup?

There is a ring that holds the sockets in place. If you want to make it easy to remove the sockets just squez the ring with pliers

I have to agree with the other replies you recieved. If you have the "hog ring" style (round C shaped spring around the square shank) it's going to be tough. Not Dewalt's fault. I have had air tools for years with the same setup. You want the socket to hold. So yes, place the socket on the floor, line up the square and press down hard. Getting it back off is going to take some wiggling for sure too.

Hi Kelli. It wasn't that hard to set up but took about 2 hours. The directions are pretty well done. My son and I did it together. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. We used it for about 3 weeks and totally fell apart. It is pretty junky. I ended up sending it back in pieces and getting a refund.

you need a socket wrench to secure the bottom pole on the base, what exactly are you having a problem with

Definately need a screw gun, two would be better so you dont have to change bits all the time. A set of drill bits (or the bits they specify) are a must. I think we used a few sockets and wrenches too.

I would use a socket wrench. The supplied wrench did not have enough torch.

You will need a small hammer, I think a screwdriver, a large space and a bit of patience. It's worth the effort, it's really a decent unit.

you don't really need a special wrench or socket - just disconnect the wires before attempting to remove the sensor - you'll have to disconnect it anyway to put in the new one. be sure to use anti-seize on the new one, but do it in a way that will prevent it getting on the sensor. you MAY have to chase the threads in the header/exhaust - i used an 18mm x 1.5 tap. a 7/8 wrench is a tadge loose but should work unless it's really seized - it's really 22mm. you DO NOT want to round off the hex part of the old one. this answer is 5 mo after the question, but maybe someone else will benefit from it. you don't really need a special wrench or socket - just disconnect the wires before attempting to remove the sensor - you'll have to disconnect it anyway to put in the new one. be sure to use anti-seize on the new one, but do it in a way that will prevent it getting on the sensor. you MAY have to chase the threads in the header/exhaust - i used an 18mm x 1.5 tap. a 7/8 wrench is a tadge loose but should work unless it's really seized - it's really 22mm. you DO NOT want to round off the hex part of the old one. this answer is 5 mo after the question, but maybe someone else will benefit from it.

I needed an 11mm socket wrench. I also had to use an adjustable wrench (set to 13mm) to hold the head of the bolts while I screwed on the 11mm nuts. You can use any kind of wrench that can handle something 13mm. Without the adjustable wrench I wouldn't have been able to screw on the nuts.

No special tools were needed. It was very easy to set up, and I am very pleased with this product & would recommend it with 5 stars.

You will need tools. A small cresent wrench or a good pair of pliers. I don't like using pliers they damage the nuts. So I would use the wrench

I did mine in 6 hours start to finish. The biggest issue is getting the crank bolt out to remove the pulley. If you have air and a big impact wrench its no problem. I used air tools and have a good impct wrench so all went smooth. Goodluck

Yes it has good instructions. Very well made. You may need a pair of pliers or 2 if you don't have a socket set or wrenches. Good Luck !

It was fairly easy using the Allen wrench that they provide. I did it by myself but having someone else to hold things while putting in the screws would be even easier. It does come with instructions.

It takes only a few minutes to set up but you need 2 people. Getting it down u need 2 people to or you might break it trying to get it down by yourself.
