Default Good price. That's the tool I use (and the one ECS sells).
Although the pin inside the screw has broken three times on mine...

It's a good tool to have in your inventory, though. Especially if you track the car.

Default What do you think about reinforcing it with some JBWeld before it breaks?
I've had one fall out and two break. Maybe there's too much play in there?

Default I took a screw w/ threads that was a fraction larger then the hole and screwed it in...
I don't need to swap since it's only used on the audi rears. Pretty ghetto but it hasn't fallen out yet (~1 year). I swap pads about 4-5 times a year for the track.
