Affordable, usable but not great

- Henk, 28 April, 2023

Disassembly and assembly succeeded with much patience. Because the firing pin is short, damage to the frame is not inconceivable if the hammer is missed. Bearings did not move at first. Heating the frame housing with a hair dryer helped. The striking pin has to be centered by hand, a centering ring would be handy. Pressing it in is easy to do with this set. Advice: do not do this with this set at the same time, but one bearing at a time.

Pros & Cons

Affordable
Fine storage box
Is usable for the purpose with patience
Firing pin has no centering ring
Firing pin should be longer

Extrusion tool does not work, rather poorly so.

- Bram, 31 July, 2021

The extrusion tool is worthless. Because you can't center the bearing end you can't apply much directed force. And the loose spreader teeth clatter loose or over the firing pin with every stroke due to the hammer recoil. (Even using one of those special plastic hammers. Loose parts fly around. The tensioner itself works fine, just make sure the cups stay nicely centered (but that is the case with all tools).

Pros & Cons

Tensioner nice and simple, works fine
Extrusion tool does not work at all
