You're certainly not the first person to complain about it. But I finally got to use one myself helping a fellow Z owner out a few weeks ago. Removing the OEM bushing with Z1's tool took less than 1/10 the time it took me to remove/cut out the OEM one on my own Z. It was easier than expected, mostly due to lower expectations after reading the complaints on the forum. Just my experience though.
