I have a tool made my Joe himself which I have had for some twenty five years. The new ones (a have one as a space) is heavier and clunky and the distance from the inside of the hook to it's outside is way too thick. I will be grinding mine down to the point that the hook itself will be about 2mm. This will help prevent damage to the plate when a pin is lower than others. Newton
