I bought this a few weeks back and just got to use it on my helicopter project. It shrinks very well but the linkage for the foot lever kept popping out, I took the mating lever that operated the dies out and drilled & tapped 2- 3/8th 16 holes on opposing sides to better hold the linkage. The linkage has a relief cut around it to accept the set screws and help hold it in place, if it pops loose again I will deepen the recess so it cannot pop loose. I reassembled it but have not tried it out yet.
Overall I'm pleased with the tool, I may stipple the dies later for another improvement. It does need to be mounted down to the floor.
