I saw a device that helps with making individual track links. I can not find a link to the device. It seems to have aided in holding and assembling them. Anyone know of such a device? I am making my first tank kit and I would like to do it right. Any advice or articles on making the individual links? Thanks.

You can make your own from less than $6 worth of Brass pieces (I did) and it works quite well.
