Disagree

Worth every penny in my opinion... saved me many hours of muckin about with clamps and long nose pliers etc etc

Just my opinion of course..

Get the right tool m8, no wonder it took you 4 hours, I did ALL mines in 60mins...... I used long nosed pliers before I got the right tool, what a nightmare,takes forever to wind back in, with the right tool it takes seconds.
