The ideal tool for the semicircular damper spoons would be a spoonbender with the slot on the _right_ so it would fit _inside_ the curve of the spoon wire. I spoke to the folks at Schaff about producing such a tool and they said there was not enough demand for it. I have modified a conventional spoon bender by heating the head till the solder softened, rotated it 180 degrees and re-soldered it to the shaft. Only time will tell if that design works.
