Anyone tested the Linegear Pin Pusher

Damn right!

But seriously OP, search around, there are a few threads on it. I know I have a couple at least and so do some other guys.

Yeah, I agree. Hardest part is pushing the pin back in. You can easily damage the nosepiece if you stuff it up.

The wrong flex couplers make lining it up near impossible.

I only have pushed pins out. Have not gotten to the "pins back in" part. I took my time and went very slow and they came out easily. To protect the pins I put some heavy duty tape on the point of the 'pusher' and on the base for protection. Neither the frames or the pin incurred any damage.

Take your time to line everything up. Not doing so can result it what @SiRacer420 posted.

Good luck

May I ask how did it end up this way?

And what is that "wrong" coupler?

This is the worst damage to a bridge I have seen

This was back when I was testing out different flex couplers. The ones I used on this one were from "thebeststoreusa" on eBay. They were too stiff and didn't line up right. That caused it all to go a little off and the pin just sheared the edge of the hole off. I've used many from Linegear and OXM with no issues, the others I wasted more trying to make them work than I was actually able to use.

@SiRacer420 : Thanks for sharing. That bridge...oh I hope it can be rescued.

I doubt it. Not a total loss though, I use the orbitals to hold lenses in place when I etch them.

I guess I could always use this bridge and make a TiO2 lol
