Just got this yesterday, been wanting one for years.

Your puzzle for tonight, can you guess what it is.

Clue, slightly astro related

Do, spoil sport you got it

Yep a lens wrench, no more scratching retaining rings using 2 screw drivers when stripping optics.

Or a hammer and chisel as with the 132🔨😲😲

 

No wonder the optics were pinched.

They work nicely. Just stripped an old grubby pair of binos down to clean internally, then recollimated and all working again. I will get some longer cross rods for larger aperture stuff, these do up to 4 and a bit inches.
