I've used the Robinson tool with good results after restringing. It's too cumbersome to carry around on jobs. Don't use too much force. You can kill a string. I did that once. Last year at the convention, Schaff had a great tool for leveling and also acts as a beat suppressor. I bought mine one the first day. On the second day they were sold out. Its their catalog #89.Use it every day to level and voice.
