My experience with AM cars is mixed. The older models (box cars, reefers, 2 bay hoppers and etc) were (are?) tooled for their 'scale' coupler, while the newer models (spine, PS-2 CD, tank cars and etc.) have tooling for KD 802s. Frequently the tooled screw holes are too large, especially on the PS-2 CD. KD used to sell a drill bit for its screws.
Otherwise with a little practice and eye-hand coordination slipping the centering spring into the shank slot in the box (rolls off the tongue), putting the cap on and screwing in place can be done with two hands and a screwdriver.
