You're certainly not the first person to complain about it. But I finally got to use one myself helping a fellow Z owner out a few weeks ago. Removing the OEM bushing with Z1's tool took less than 1/10 the time it took me to remove/cut out the OEM one on my own Z. It was easier than expected, mostly due to lower expectations after reading the complaints on the forum. Just my experience though.
GaleForce and Kzonts like this.
