Update: Rikki suggested the Bergeon 4040 movement holder, as my Horotec is only meant for the 3035 and will not be interchangeable with a 3135 after all!

I picked one of those up and also got a LG Openall and got away from the T style bergeon 5537.. which is good because in the picture, you should note the 5537 broke! The little ball popped out of the side from wear, the same day the new opener arrived! Haha.. it knew it's time had come.

I found the 5537 slipped even with even and true pressure applied.. looking at the teeth it's no surprise... I took one of the die from the LG and set it on the back of my 16610.. gave it a little turn with my hand and found absolute resistence that impressed me after seeing how poorly formed the 5337 die were.... So there you go!

As for the No. 4040 movement holder? It's fantastic.. looks like a solid crafted holder that I will trust going forward.

I'll upload another complete list of my tools/pics after my timing machine gets here.. :smoking:

Thanks again Rikki for all your advice and patience! The study continues.
