to make it little more clear, tool is designed after Years of data recovery practice...
It is made because it could not be bought. I think it was a dream to have the tool that will help change heads withoth tuching one another at any time. In the same time heads do not tuch even platters ( wich is not a case in some other tools that are on the market). So this tool represent NORISK head change. Same heads can be used over and over, without a slice chance for damaging the heads or platers.
In folowing dayes we will put on market tool for some seagates, and one day we will have tool for every drive ( as well as platter removal tool for drives that have spacers between platters....)

it depends on the drive models...
some drives have same mehanic, like dm9 and dm19 and Maxline 2
we will make a tool for each drive ( mehanic model).
tools can work on same drive families with variable capacities...
we make tool for maximum capacity, this one can hold up to 6 heads.

Re: head change tool

ok, lets say your tool is able to take off heads from drive with stuck motor without scratching platter. but so what if there are spacers between platters? how do you change platters to good motor?

if platter is not locked, head replacing is easy, even without your fancy tool for 500EUR. I can do that in less than 10 minutes and again and again. Heads will be still working and platter will be not scratched.

You asked what we think, so i'm told.
