[TempestNightmare]

if you use needle nose pliers to twist them off...it distorts the ball
socket, try these, this is what I use.

Oh my god. At $27, it's a tool that everyone thrifty modeler will want.
Just tell all the newbies that the simplest tool will run them over $20, and
see how many people throng to the sport.

Actually they look like a good idea with a Nike tax added. ($20 shoes, $60
logo = $80 package). I would like to see comparisons on the ball ends with
regular pliers and that tool.
