thedw,

I've not tried type 1. My point of view is that tools are suppose to be made strong & rugged.
I don't understand why tools like pin remover are made small and "cute", as at the end of the day who will bring them out to the field.

Not a safety tool.  The Japanese got it right, nothing is more precious than the spool axis  ;D

Hello Killerbug,

How much is that tool and where do you get it from?

With the Hegdehoq, there are less chances, that you scratch the spool axis. With the Hedgehoq only aluminium touches the spool axis during the removal of the pin, making this tool more safe to use, especially by an untrained mechanic.  With a plier, slipping of the pin sometimes occur, leaving undesired marks on the spool, sometimes on a 500 $ reel.

New strong version of "Spool Bearing Pin Remover Toughy" is now on sale.

Since the material is all stainless-steel, it has a strong durability and more weight than Type S. And also the price is reasonable.
