Heat Press Insert Tool

This is my personal heat insert press tool. It's a little bit tricky to mount but it works very well. In the arm you can attach all insert of the kit (M2 - M3 - M4 - M5 - M6 - M8)

Use long Allen key.

Attach the retractile keychain to the rear part of base and let pass the wire inside the hole of arm piece or use the ring to an hole in the arm piece.
