I leave the tool in there the whole time and lock/unlock as needed and there is no guess work. Make the tool...dont make the tool. Like with everything its nice to have options.

OK, so I thought I was missing something but you make a good point, all it takes is one mis-step and the tumblers are out of whack. So, the next question is what size copper tubing did you use? and did you simpley just flatten it, it looked like you had some electrical tape on it or something. Also how long is the flattened part?

Getting ready to pull mine and I think I'm going to make one of these.

Thanks
