Tuner Bushing Press

Works well if you take your time and press the bushings out slowly. Helps a lot if you can secure the instrument so you have both hands free to operate the tool.

Yes, it works and did the job, however, to use it was not as smooth as I expected from a quality StewMac tool.
Issues:
- The grip is very uncomfortable. I have small hands and with the jaws open for starting I almost couldn't have a firm grip on it because it was way to wide. With slightly curved grip maybe...?
- I used the stepped brass insert to remove the bushing and when it done the insert stuck in the hole and it took more time to set it free than to remove the bushing
- As others also said, the swiveling parts sometimes makes it awkward to use. The insert could shift very easily off from the proper direction pressing the bushing only on one side. Would be nice to have a screw to fix the position.
- The new bushing was black and the brass insert chipped the black finish at some points when I pressed them into the hole with it.
The basic concept is fine, but the production could be improved.

this is a great tool.i had no trouble at all, removing gibson deluxe green key bushes. and fitting grover deluxe chrome key bushes.yes the inside diameter of the gibson bushes were larger than the grovers.hence i had to replace the whole show.06 std cherry s/burst les paul.

Essential tool, excellent 

I have removed and installed two sets of bushings with this tool, and it worked as advertised, but the anvil and ram flop around a lot, which makes proper placement slow and aggravating sometimes. I suppose with more usage it would become easier. Also, some bushings hang up in the plastic protection cover, which then needs to be removed to retrieve the bushing. But, it does remove the anxiety of driving out the bushing with a hammer and drift. It seems somewhat overpriced for what you get.

Wish I would have had these when I replaced my tuners on my Collings mandolin...... I learned a valuable lesson about the right tools for the job in trying it without em. Won't do that again. Thank goodness it was my mandolin.

Like one other reviewer here, I cut my losses by investing in one of these to remove and replace a set of F5 tuners. It's true, it can be a little tricky with the loose swiveling component, but it worked on my mando without chipping out.

I bought this tool cause I didn't want to hammer the bushing into my new neck. With this tool I knew that I wouldn't damage my brand new neck. I did a good job and it was worth the price in my opinion. It was also pretty easy to use.

Yet another tool stewmac cheaps out on. The vice grip is too small to start. The rubber overlay that "protects" the peg head ripped on the first use and the plastic that tore thru dented the neck. This tool is just as clumsy as trying to catch the bushing lip with a punch etc. Its a terrible, poorly made, finnicky tool made in the cheapest possible way. I'm getting a little tired of this from stewmac. To many times these tools have been so cheaply done as it worse than trash. Your better off using a punch and a mallet as at least you wont end up with a huge ring on the peghead from this "tool".

Only a word:perfect
