After having the Bergeon tool break on me after using it three times (admittedly I'm hard on tools) I bought this one on a whim. I have to say so far it's every bit as good as that one. I've only had it for a week, but I've used it probably ten times and it seems strong and sturdy.

I used it to change to a strap I purchased here. First time using such a tool. The strap transfer was accomplished without damage to the tool or the strap. Very good construction.

First time using a spring bar tool - no problems removing and replacing spring bars and the tool tip seems strong. The transaction was smooth and the tool arrived in less than a week.
