Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or do the tools distort over time and thus become ineffective?
It is collets on this one... is there something I am meant to do in prep before putting the tool end on to the end of the valve spring holder thing?
thanks
I have seen a couple of tools distorted - the screw down should be vertical- they are fairly common so find a better one.
As suggested a tap on the collet holder could help.
