have in me shop both the Verot-Perrin remover and the outillage VAR
the V-P gives a few thou of "slack" between the male and female thread much like one would have on a typical bolt & nut combination such that parts can be threaded/unthreaded easily with fingers
on the VAR instrument the threads seem to be lapped, very snug fit
once damaged the removal thread on a 49D arm using the VAR as it does not give the "feel" of the V-P tool for thread starting
