Heard some positive feedback but I don't try it yet. It is for lens with filter thread of 0.75mm pitch .

I have one, need to get practice I did succesfully ruin my Konica 85mm f1.8 AR lens, before this tool it had one big dent. After tool it has many and looks filter ring was in war in Vietnam.
I was stupid pretty much  I still angry what I did. I suggest to practice how to use it on a zero value lens or /and on an alu tube.

It's very easy with this tool to pull the whole ring out of shape before the dent is corrected. Much better to cut a former out of hardwood to fit the outside diameter of the ring and tap the dent out on it with a wooden dowl on the inside.

Pretty poor job of machining the tool. No way would I use it.I really don't like this design anyway, the other type seem safer to use.
But if you like this type.
