Was in your shoes 2 weeks ago. I sprang for the action wrench from NWS. Figure I can rent it out to local guys a few times for a six pack of good beer. You gotta have the nut wrench though. Hotolds is right, this could turn into a obsession. I'm already wanting to go pawn shop cruising again. I just bought the "go" gage. Used one thickness of scotch tape which added .002" to the gage. In fact I made two of them just to be sure. Works like a charm. Also fwiw, I only removed the extractor, not the ejector. Had no problem with "feel".
