Novodiac and Kif Trior tools

[jdm]

Has anyone successfully used a Kif Trior tool to refit a Novodiac spring?
I have tried a Kif 2.10mm tool, meant for 1.65mm springs, on a Novodiac 1.65mm spring and doesn't work, it appears an hair too large.
I didn't succeed even with tweezers, surely wasn't using the right technique.
Novodiac tools are twice or four times more expensive than Kif Trior, maybe an hollowed pegwood is the best choice ?

If you want to try a diy solution, my mentor told me to use the brass tube from an old spring bar and file 3 notches in it. I haven't tried that yet because I ordered a set of Chinese tools from AliExpress. It's almost a month already and still no sign of them.

I found them a touch to big as well so I made one out of pegwood. Very easy to make if you have a lathe. Cut a piece off flush drill an appropriate hole and then file the notches required with a screw head file. Pegwood is far more tactile than metal.
