I can bring the tool to the 2022 East Coast Rally to offer a complimentary RLET installation station. BYO-RLETS.

My dog wandered in while I was watching that and he freaked right out and ran out of the room howling and whining!

I too struggled and cursed during manual installation of RLETS on my Monkey and CB. Yes, I was/am familiar with all the little tricks like heating in boiling water, and soap, but I also have arthritis in my hands which makes it a bit more difficult. I found a lot of these tools on eBay. The best listing I found was for $7.95 with free shipping, but the listing also said to make offer. I offered $7, seller countered at $7.45, and I bought it resulting in a total cost of $8.06 including shipping and tax.

I may never use the tool, as other have pointed out, but for $8, what the heck. Here is a link to the Ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/253365796390
Amazon listings were significantly more expensive, as I imagine farm supply stores would be as well.

It is interesting how the RLET saga has turned to acquiring key [motorcycle] castration tools.
