Hi Jon, Thanks for the tip!. I have struggled with that problem (getting the buttons all to be square), and never found a really satisfactory solution. This looks like the one. I don't care for the tool as a hammer extractor, so this will give it an actual use. (For hammer extractor, I prefer the old Hale geared tool - for both uprights and grands - that is no longer available. The tool Jurgen is selling these days is quite nice, too).
