+ 2 for the Grimes tools
If I was to go for the Grimes tool, would it be better to go with the flat tips or the pointed tips? I'm guessing that either would be ok for my current problem, but which option is more useful generally?
I use them both depending on the lens. Probably use the flat tip more often, though
A piece of wood with two finishing nails driven through just far enough to allow the tool to clear the raised ring will do the job with no damage. Of course thenails must be the same distance apart as the notches in the ring.
I simply took a pair of right-angle needle-nosed pliers and ground down the tips to the appropriate size.
Well, they fall into the right position when I'm using it, and that's what matters to me. One of the first things I did was cut myself a small block of wood have my brother and law use his router to cut a lengthwise groove along it. The blades, especially the pointed ones, aren't all that comfortable when you press the palm of your hand against them. The groove is deep enough for the opposing blades to nestle in and I can grip the tool comfortably.
