I purchased one a little while ago, was ok on two regs, the third (an Ebay reg) that was on my .20 ..I had to take a touch off the pins as it juuust wouldn't line up.

I made my own for my work but don't bother to make for selling because of the reason above,as the location holes can differ in the regs.had a few regs sent to me with damaged push pin disc because of some of the reg tools.

Hi guys,
I got one as it's damn near impossible to swap over the "O" ring on the MFR bottle probe without it.

It has a secondary use, however, as it's spot on size for getting the split nut on the stock screw of an S200 off as well.

I then swpped the iditic screw for a long 6mm stainless steel item on both my S200's

Well I would hope for either a replacement or refund,
It's literally only just happened so I've messaged the seller & sent them a photo and await their reply.

TBH I'm more concerned with sorting out the reg holder for the rifle.  :'(

Instant refund from the seller, who turns out to be Rob Lane,

I ended up having to drill it out & use a No3 screw extractor  :'( so no blame on the tool for failing.
