Looks really nice and I see you can get replacement tips (pricey though) if they break (which happens on springbar tools).

Cheaper than Bergeon replacement tips.

Used this tool to swap bracelets on my BB58. It’s not foolproof, but it was very easy to use. Not sure it’s worth the premium over the Bergeon. Then again, in the long run the Nam Hing will be cheaper after buying replacement tips.

I still think you can use the detachment side for reattachment again.
I don't really like sliding the pin heads into the lugs and then just hoping it falls into the holes.

And at $125 originally, I would have bought it outright but Esslinger now sells it for $199 so that goes into the gray area of too expensive.

I'm neutral on it. I just had my first use of it after overspending on esslinger some time ago. The removal using tweezers is no different. The reinstallation definitely requires tape since you're squeezing the spring bar with the plastic tips while they're resting on the back of the lugs.
