    Having used both, I would say the Syron is a lot grippier but I don't think they last long but you can buy 2 Syrons for the price of one Toyo

    funny that, I was just thinking of making up an actuator setting tool, rather along the lines of MRP's as this weekend was a ball ache trying to get stuff reset, so time to make some turbo tuning equipment me thinks...
