Awesome. Second prototype fit perfectly. The socket locks the cam bolt washer to the hub so the bolt does not move at all. Big ol' 14" wrench tames the 'bucking bronco' 1-4 side.
One of those tools that make you laugh at how easy it is, especially if you have done a lot of cam adjustments 'the hard way'. I have no qualms about changing the timing on a whim, now. (Going to try 3° retard on my 5-speed.)
Hopefully available from your favorite 32V'r dealer by X-mas. (Ask for it!)

Ken,
That is very cool. Do you have a price point or know how many should be available by the holidays? I think I need to put this on my Christmas list.

Hey Ken, Man it sure would be good go get a set of these this week. Since I will be reassembling the cams this week, it would be nice to do it right the first time... I got the timing set from Roger and will be ordering the chips soon. I would rather have this tool and get the chips after I have run the engine for a few months. What do you think?

Thanks, all! 
If you have to ask...click on my facebook page (<-) for the guesstimate retail. 
You won't need these if you have the covers off. There are flats on the cams for a wrench. You'll want to check the timing after the belt has 500+ miles on it, anyway. Chips, TQrings, and FPR may be easier to install now.
I have a handful put together, but they won't be plated for a few weeks.
