Dropped $60 on a proper lens spanner and it finally let me fix that stuck 50mm f1.4 I've been ignoring for a year

The cheap multi-tool I was using just kept slipping and scratching the ring, so I bit the bullet on a Knipex spanner and it paid for itself on the first job, has anyone else found one specific tool that just saved their whole workflow?

Dropped $60 on a spanner, huh? I spent three hours with a bent paperclip and a pair of pliers before I finally caved and bought a proper one. The scratches on that lens ring are a permanent reminder of my cheapness. Sounds like you got off easy compared to me.

I used a thick guitar pick and it actually worked okay.
