Hello Mike, I have a similar Lens Filter Ring Vise but then coming from an Ebay seller from India. I realy don't use it much as you allways have to put something in between to protect the filter metal from getting scratched. Wooden dowels combined with a wooden "anvil" cut to shape works maybe not so fast but less destructive to the filter ring surface. Rubber tools are a great help. I use them very often. Most are plain rubber doorstoppers in different sizes bought for small money in a DIY shop. Never used acetone though to improve their grip. Had you ever problems with that acetone i.e. that it attacked the paint or plastic parts ? I have one "professional" rubber tool which once was use by a Rollei repair technician. It's just a wooden handle with metal shaft and on the end Rubber inserted in a metal cylinder. I don't use because i don't want to spoil such a vintage tool. Can publish a photo on Flickr if you are interested to see. Thanks for your tips, they are allways a joy to read ! Cheers, Hans |
