Hazen, List,

I've used an Itoshin Extension professional tuning lever model since 1985.
Tried various other brands prior and since. Always go back to the Itoshin.

I will say though the Jahn tuning lever is one nice piece of equipment.
Feels wonderful when turning the tuning pins.  However, it just didn't fit
in with my current collection of tuning lever tups and heads, because it is
a completely different design concept, and for some reason there doesn't
seem to be a variety of tips and heads to go with the Jahn lever that I
know of.

No two snowflakes alike,
