Default M.B.S. Manufacturing - Anyone using their cam bearing tools?

I stumbled upon MBS Mfg through an ebay listing. It appears that they are offering a inner cam bearing remove/replace tool kit including the Torrington B168 bearings for quite a bit less than other tool makers.

http://www.mbsmfg.com/hadatob168in.html

Does anyone have any experience with this company? The item above is all I would need to remove and replace the inner cam bearings, correct?

I used MBS's Item# ICBLTC8-1A7A installer tool on my 04 Wide Glide last month. I used the inner cam bearing puller from George's Garage. Note that the installer tool from MBS is on sale at a good price. The tool in your link will not pull and install the bearings; their description is misleading on that.

Just order the inner cam bearing remover AND installer combo tool from Gary Beatty and pay $85 for it and you'll be happy.

I just recieved a bunch of tools from MBS. They are all top notch as far as I can tell. I ordered the puller/installer for cam bearings, crank lock, and oil pump alignment screws. I will be using them tomorrow for the first time. Comparing them to JIMS tools the machine work looks good. Alot less money too.
