The Pexto 971 Conductor Stake is a substantial forming stake designed for working and refining sheet metal. Its long, broad working surface makes it useful for forming, smoothing, planishing, and developing a wide range of shapes in sheet metal.
 
Pexto stakes are the same tools I have personally relied on throughout my career. I have used these same stakes for more than 25 years with some of the stakes I own being over 100 years old and still being used every day. They have proven themselves to be exceptionally useful tools that will remain in service for generations.
 
The 971 is a large and versatile stake that is particularly useful when working with larger sheet-metal forms. For armourers, its broad working surface can be useful when developing larger curved and compound surfaces or bending parts to conform to the body, but its usefulness extends well beyond armour making. This stake can be used for everything from traditional sheet-metal work and automotive restoration to architectural metalwork, fabrication, and other forming applications.
 
The 971 is manufactured from forged steel and is supplied as a substantial, purpose-built forming stake for the working metalworker.
