Hi!
I've been playing camera repairman again for the past several weeks
and have gotten very tired of straightening bent filter rings via the
"tap tap" method.
Not wanting to shell out $100.00+ for a good ring tool, or $40.00 for
a crappy Chinese one, I came up with this:

A $14.99 benchtop vise from the local home center and some
screws and scrap wood.
A few minutes work and I can make any size "jaws" I need.
The rather lovely Hi-Matic 7s in the picture was badly bent, a
few minutes later, as you can see, filters mount again!
Thought someone might get some use out of this.
(It's pretty handy as a bench vise too!) ;-)
Thumbs up for ya, Don!
Boris
