I'm sure the PRO version is a good tool. I have the JA Stein version and agree 100% that this style of tool is awesome: https://steintool.com/portfolio-item...-holding-tool/
The JA Stein one uses M5 machine screws so it can be configured for 10, 11, and 12. BTI has them if you've got a shop account.

I’ll second the Hiro!
And that price is cheaper than the Wholesale cost to dealers.
I’ll buy a second to put on the end of my compressor.

Heads up on that hiro chuck- it doesn't come with any sort of a hose barb adapter so you might need that too

Yeah, that's why I posted it. 50% off makes the Hiro a no brainer. They sent me an early access link bc I guess I'm an easy mark.
ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

Disagree. To each his own I guess, but I decided they are my favorite handles on the market after trying a bunch of different brands.

Is the business end the handle or the tip?
What does Pozi Drive mean?

We are arguing over handle preference. There's really no better or worse, it's just what feels best in your hand. Wiha soft finish is the red one, Wera has a pretty unique handle, Klein has another handle type, and then there are harder plastic handles like the blue Wiha below. I prefer the red, softtouch Wiha handles. I've got like 25 of them.
But when he said business end he meant the tip. I'm not sure the difference between the softfinish and hard plastic Wiha tips.
Pozidriv is an improved version of phillips invented in the 60s that has an extra set of mini flanges - looks like a star version of phillips. Typically found in, among other places, binding screws.

Pozi Drive is a screw head standard.
ie: Blade (-), Philips (+), Robertson (square), Torx (star).
All ski bindings with a + or cross screw head are Pozi Drive 3.
It’s not a common standard here in North America, but more bit sets are starting to include them, usually with a PZ on them.
You can identify a PZ screw head with the hash marks at 45* to cross opening.

And to think, I got slagged for buying a $20 sealant injector and colorful hex wrenches!

^ It’s worth it for the thread adapters with different thread pitch/size for different brands.
Plus I have thrown away 1 or2 plastic Shimano cups a season.
Just need to be really careful with Shimano road levers, those threads are made from soft cheese, you even look at those threads sideways and you’re stripped.

Yeah, I’ve considered metal bleed cups in the past, but I think there is a reason Shimano makes em plastic - better to cross thread a $4 cup than a brake lever.
I think I’d do it for an at-home kit, but the odds of bungling a thread increase when that cup is twisting into 5-6 levers a day - and that’s an expensive mistake.

I completely support your purchase. I’m at the “nice tools are nice” phase of my life. Especially when it’s <$100 and feels tangibly nicer when used, or classes up the cave.
