I'd like to get added to the list for tools if/when available. Thanks!

So the cold/hot trick did absolutely nothing. At least with the amount of heat I was willing to apply, did not want to overheat the metal.
I think one of my problems is I’m using one of these inexpensive Amazon action wrenches. It’s always worked fine for me, but it’s quite narrow, and looking at it now it was actually deforming the metal on the wrench. The action seems fine, which is good. I think it’s just a POS tool combined with a very uncooperative action.

I think I need to just bite the bullet and buy a better quality action wrench, as Im not sure its a good call to be beating on a borrowed one. Is the Wheeler #1 action wrench the one to get? That appears to be out of stock everywhere. Also looks like Brownells sells one that looks
pretty burly. Not sure if there are other good quality options. Whats the one to get?

@hereinaz have you tried out that buffalo creek action wrench yet?
