I've used similar tools before and was a bit disappointed with this one. The brass. handle section is a bit small and there is very little difference in size between the two hooks. The smaller hook is still too big for many situations. The finishing on the end of the hooks is machined to quite a hard edge which couldn't easily scratch instruments. With a bit of filing and honing it will work well but I would have expected it to better straight out of the box.
The supplier responded:Dear customer, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that this spring hook hasn't been right for you however we do offer a few different options if you did want to explore any other models. Kind regards, Kasey Stone - Dawkes Sales
Perfect for adjusting tension or repositioning springs on my soprano saxophone where everything is so close together that there’s no room for anything bigger than this tool.
Does the job. Seems like a good design
Great tool for the job on sax repair
Essential item for Sax service
