Default Chicken Stick

Need a backup or prefer a chicken stick vs. a starter how about this idea?

I can't take full credit for this idea as I used a similar chicken stick recently at our field. Only the way I made a couple sticks for myself.

Purchase a 9" long 1/2" carriage bolt and cover it with 1/2" ID clear reinforced tubing. The tubing just slips on in place with a little pressure. The result is a chicken stick with good mass to flip the engine through with authority when starting.
