Like the saying goes,right tool for the job. This tool is priceless to me,very seldom do I need to get the hammer and punch out. If you don't have one you will be very happy if you buy one.That steady pressure just where you need it makes a great deal of difference.

And here's a new one off the shelf: http://www.bikesmithdesign.com/CotterPress/
If you do any work with cottered cranks, you really do need a press both for removing and installing the cotters properly.

I love that Bike Smith press. I have one, and it has never failed (knock on wood) to remove a pin, even one that's been in 80 years. I also got the fixed cup tool from them.
Coincidentally, Bike Smith makes Raleigh pattern cotter pins as well. The "Grade A" pins they sell are actually of a higher quality than even the original Raleigh pins, at least in my experience. The metal is a bit harder and dimensions less variable than even the originals I have used.
