removing key leads

[Farrell]

Indeed, yes, that is fairly obvious. I believe this type of tool is handy 
for many other tasks such as pushing in new capstans, and backchecks. The 
one-ton has a 5.5" height capacity and the half-ton is an inch shorter. My 
question, more completely stated, was which machine best serves all the 
common needs of the shop-bound piano technician. I suspect the half-ton 
could press just about anything I wanted into a spruce key. But not ever 
having used such a tool, I was wondering if the height capacity or anything 
else about the larger model made it more attractive to the piano tech.
