Has anyone used Tripps Mfg. as a supply source? How easy is it to
use their “easy mount settings” ? Do I need gem set pliers? They seem
pretty expensive at around $32.<<
I’ve used their mntgs several times with good results. In all
cases I used the smaller setting pliers they recomend. Depending
on your manual dexterity, feel & experience you could use a
needle nose pliers or some other tool. $32 for the pliers may be
a lot cheaper than replacing a broken stone. The pliers lets
you control the closing pressure easier than a needle nose.
Good luck! Dave
