The tool I want was purchased from Assenmacher many years ago. I am tred of borrowing my friends and the only one I see available is from SIR tools. the one from Assenmacher looks like it is much better in quality. The other is listed here:

Anyone use this or know a better quality tool? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

None are any better than the others; it's a friggin bent handle with replaceable blades. Make sure you purchase additional blades as they will break trying to get the tool in the right orientation. My average is one per motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I know that Ron (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I just want a decent tool and not something that will break after a few adjustments (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . The SIR handle just looks so cheap but then again is only $8. $5 from Pelican.

I have a TON of blades. I think the last adjustment I did I had two tear on me but have done a few with zero tearing.

I have had much better success with valve adjustments using Wayne's back side method:
