Default However

One feature that is neat is that the end of the bolt has a small ball embedded in it, much like the tip of a ball point pen. So the bolt turn VERY easily.

I meant that these two tools aren't identical, but perform the same function

Default No doubt easier..

The straight arm was easy without it. A quick tap with the mallet and it was loose. The curved arm I didn't bother trying with a mallet since the tool had already showed up. I used a pickle fork the last time I changed that and that actually worked ok, but it destroyed the boot.

Default *bookmarked* Hey Mike, maybe you guys should carry it too.

I'd much rather give my hard earned money away to you guys.
