Anyone tried these headcombs?

Has anyone tried these? They look decent to me, and for the price might be worth it.

Looks like they got smart and figured out how to make one tool that does more variety of drives.

This one I have, but still in the box... No reviews yet.

I have the DDL Level 2 combs and they are okay, but only get one for each drive type. Some of them are not a particularly good fit so you can end up with the heads not separated enough and touching once removed from the ramp, a difficult job re-installing the heads because they are not separated enough, or the comb rotating out from between the heads while you invert the drive to remove the HSA bottom screw. I use SD combs for the patient and the DDL ones for the donor. I've read somewhere a complaint that HDDSurgery-like combs scratch the platters, but I'd have to track that down to be sure whose/which combs they were referring to.

Ok, so today I opened the box ehehehe
I tested this head comb: http://www.hddheadtools.com/product/sea ... d-7200-12/

Took a while to check how to "plug it in". I just had 3 drives here to play and only one was supported...
But, on the one that fit, it was pretty good. One thing is missing: a way to avoid the head to get out from the comb. Sometimes I felt I needed 3 hands.
Besides that, it was smooth and felt assured that it does what is necessary.

PS: By the way: how may kits of head swap tools do you have?? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Thanks for the quick review, Nuno. I see it's lacking the locking pin that's on HDDSurgery tools. Would be interesting to compare with ER-Tools Seagate combs. I think Jared has them and likes them, IIRC.

How much for the ER tools? They have them all sold out...

Yeah the owner had been sick and seemed to have shelved the business for a bit. I do like the tools for drives without ramps. I think I paid around $200 for the Seagate set. Wish I had bought the WD ones too.
