Anyone buy one of these eBay Cam bearing installation tools or have an opinion? Looking at getting one.

Ironically it was for sale a few minutes ago? Hopefully my question didn't lead to a viewer snagging it? Damned!

Still shows some in stock at their store/site, but no idea if that's accurate.

I bought one and used it.  It worked well and much better than the universal ones with the expandable inner and rubber collar.  The expandable inner broke which is the reason I bought this one.
