Info on AP Bands equipment

Hi, I'm just looking for any first hand knowledge on AP Bands easy strap change tool for me to change my ROO straps. Is it good or bad, easy to use or not? I Also will purchase the Bergeon 1.4 but I know their quality.


Thanks,
Everett

I originally bought a Bergeon 6730 to swap my straps, but found that my two 1.4mm drivers worked easy enough for me... Just buy 2 screwdrivers.

Everett, I purchased 2 of these Husky-branded micro screw drivers from Home Depot. Each comes with 4 double-headed tips, one of which is a 1.4mm flat/slot. As Mike mentioned above, all you need are 2 of these screw drivers and you're good to go.

I bought the AP bands tools and it was very easy to swap out the plots from the strap. But what I eventually did, was order another set of OEM plots with screws and bars. I permanently attached them to the hornback strap, that way I was not removing plots from the rubber to the hornback everytime in want to change straps, it takes no time at all for a strap change now.

Yeah it's a great idea to get a second set of plots. I recently purchased a set myself. Well worth the money.
