Quoted from sixpakmopar:
Are you adjusting the leaf switch blade Or the stiffener/backer blade(much thicker material)? I broke one doing the stiffener blades, bought another and only use it for the leaf blades so far without problems.

The stiffener/backer blade is the one you're supposed to adjust. It's what holds the blade with the contact in place. You're also supposed to adjust the blade as close to the base as possible.

Of course, once you get your game, who knows how many op helpers and home owners have bent the shit out of them.

Quoted from Goronic:
So, is the Pinball Life ultimate leaf switch tool the best in the biz right now?
Is there a single tool that will do, or should you get different sizes and angles? I am getting tired of using a flat head screw driver to make adjustments, as this just isn't the ideal way to do so.
I want those switches to be dead on right for proper flipper and slingshots ...

The 45 degree end is the one I use 95% of the time.
