Re: Omega link tool?
In Response To: Re: Omega link tool? ()

Thanks Derek! Pin extraction seems to be fairly simple... Pin insertion, not so much. I took a long road trip and lucked out enough to be able to watch an Omega rep do it this morning. I was amazed at the amount of tap-tap-tapping involved in re-inserting that pin... His comment was that the harder something is to get in, the harder it will be to get out. Seemed logical I suppose. Any one of the decent Frei&Borel bases will do, but after watching the procedure, I'm chicken :-)

Regards,
