It isn't radiussed enough to cradle most quality lockrings so that the tab engages properly. Chewed up tabs and busted knuckles are the result. Thanks for giving me the idea to find one of these Suginos...

Not only that, but it engages tighter and better when you apply force, to me it literally grabs hold and helps hold on to get it loose, you just have to keep it straight.

They are worth their weight in gold as far as I'm concerned, mine is 45 years old and has never failed me, still going strong.
