A critical feature is the set of driving rings, which are crafted from a specific, high-density Nylon. This material is intentionally chosen for its exceptional toughness combined with its non-marring properties. Unlike metal-on-metal tools that can easily scratch, dent, or deform a delicate alloy or steel crown race, these Nylon rings ensure a damage-free installation, preserving the integrity and finish of your headset parts.The tool itself is built to withstand the rigors of a professional workshop environment. The main setting tube is constructed from robust, chrome-plated steel, providing superior strength and excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. Furthermore, it is equipped with a specially hardened tube end cap. This reinforced cap is designed to endure repeated, forceful strikes from a mallet or hammer without deforming, ensuring consistent performance and a long service life.Product
