The Park FFS-2 is a terrible tool to use to cold set a frame. All you want to do when cold setting a frame is spread the chain stays as equally as possible, in a plane, without introducing all kinds of other dynamic bends that have to be corrected.

Park makes some really crappy tools. The FFS-2 is like using a hammer and duct tape. Its the wrong tool for the job.
Don't feed the troll.
