Thanks for another excellent video. This is a great tool to have in one's arsenal. OTOH, removing metal is a last resort, IMO. As you said, make sure the posts are sitting correctly. Many times, the posts are splayed due to a wack to the key tube or there is a serious dent under one of the posts. Many times, depending on the style of screw, it makes sense to replace the screw and/or fill the end of the key tube. One some horns, it makes sense to resolder/reposition one of the posts. IMO, the last resort is removing metal from the post, Again, that's a good tool to have. I have my own self-built tools for this but they are ancient and will be looking to replace them soon.
