This is nice. I tried it out and worked just fine for me. I barely had to use any force (as long as I remove the atty, first, since I don't torque the switch much when I install. Easy peasy!
It is a nifty method, although it can be tough to apply pressure on the button and hold it in place and there is the potential to cut yourself if you're not careful. Nonetheless, I really like this method and will definitely employ it. I'm not sure why there's any difference when re-assembling the button as this method is only needed to remove it, and you must have super-human Canadian lumberjack strength if you're worried about deforming the 316SS locking ring.![]()
