I do not understand all this rubber sleeve and o ring stuff, even in the military we had size specific tools.
Ive done near 250 small blocks with these and never had one single issue, even to reuse the cam bearings from the race motors in dirt track claimer builds.
I dont know how the Les tool works but ive caught 3 MP cam bearings that were sized wrong from the box with these as well by not fitting or fitting too loose.
Maybe I just know there might be a better way or ?

I'm in the market for a cam bearing tool, I'd like to purchase a quality piece. What's recommended? What should I stay away from? Thanks A snap On one is better than the Lisle tool. I have both, the snap on one uses O rings and the lisle uses rubber sleeves. O rings are better and easier to work with IMO. Plus the snap on one seems harder more solid when you hit it with a BFH. Funny , I bought my Lisle tool off the snap on truck ... I use it for more than cam bearings . I could use another set of sleeves for it .
