I have used my "Budget" tool kit a few times now and have had to file various bits of it for fit. I last used it this spring and decided to modify it to work more like the factory kit by cutting the hex ends off the front holding tools and making up a separate cam turning tool. This makes the tools much easier to mount on the cams and avoids the fear of damaging the ends of the cams with the tools. I also invested in a set of 190 adaptors which didn't fit the cheap tools properly and involved yet more tool filing. They did the job though.

Here are the modified tools with my homemade turning tool at the rear.
