Your assumption would be wrong and yes you get really really really great stretch marks that screws with the spacing right away. The pull method is fine if you are half blind and cant see the marks or in dim lighting. I just prefer the standard bind and bump method, the spacing is dead accurate and is the preferred method by true professionals. I have taught impressioning at ALOA seminars on and off for years I am well versed with all methods. Have had these Grumbach pull tools since 1978 and documented instruction from the guy that invented the tool how to use it properly. I don't like them and don't need it to do the pull method and don't have to worry about marring the face of the customers lock which is going to happen unless you pad it to protect it somehow if using this tool to some degree. There are times when pulling will yield a mark where bind and bump aren't working well this is true. But an inline straight gripping handle is superior in everyway than a pistol grip handle that many are heavy handed with and blanks will start to tear too easily. Much depends on brand of blank used and lock you are impressioning . I would be very interested in seeing an updated enhanced version of this tool. Innovated improvements are always a welcome sight to see. Wish you the best with your effort.
