Like most reviewers I would like to see this tool much sooner. 15-20 years ago this would have saved a lot of time and hassle for a tool that could fit in the glove box. If you have scrap metal and a welding machine, you can make your own. It's just easier to buy and know it will work. 3 year tool guarantee. I also ordered the long arm and magnetic spacer separately to have the whole set. Use caution when using a power tool on the main lift pin. Yes, tightening the screw all the way can ruin the steps, but loosening it all the way can cause the screw to stick. JFYI. Breaking a pearl is no longer a problem. I bought directly from BeadBuster. I would have gotten it from Revain but they didn't have the extra parts.
