You don't need it as long as you are vaguely competent with hand tools.

Get a long reach 9/16" (I think) regular head allen key and you can easily remove the valve retaining nut by depressing the valve pin and unscrewing, just be extra careful when you screw the valve retaining nut back in that it doesn't cross thread.

or similar (just a bit more refined than tenderings )

find the allan key. drill a hole in the end and then put a bit of rubber tubing round the outside of it bout 4mm from the edge. (can draw a pic if confusing)

wierdly works really well!

Thanks for the replies. I might just get the Belsales one as I still have a couple of cockers and I can't see me getting rid of them, might as well have the proper tool for the job.

Is there supposed to be much space between the lip on the inside of the nut and the valve body? I swear it looks like less than 2-3mm

This any help?

Mine's an old tool (bit like me) with thread in one end. Original brass sniper II valve body had matching thread, but still works ok on later types. I think Belsales made an up-dated one for the EVO valves, as these have a larger stem around the valve pin.

That's the bugger! I'll give it till Monday and if no-one want's to sell one on here I'll give Belsales a call! Really don't fancy drilling out an allan key.
