Won't work in computer components

The screw threads don't go far enough that the second part can't even touch the IHS so I had to find a screw with matching threads that I could press to remove. Another solution is to create a spacer in the form of multiple washers so it can come into contact with a smaller part to apply pressure. The quality is cast metal and the CPU shakes a bit more than I would like compared to the De8bauer which is a much higher quality CNC with good tolerances and can properly add the IHS back which I unfortunately lost. In the end it did what I needed to do, but if it's required for a one-off use you probably can't go wrong, but if you plan on using this you steer clear of it often.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Good, but not great
