Default Cam bearing tool

I'm looking at buying a heartland tool cam bearing installer/remover , but I can't add it to my cart on thier web site . I see there is a company called MBS selling them on ebay with the same picture and description. Does anyone know if these two are one in the same or is MBS a rip off brand or possibly makes them for heartland??? Any info is appreciated! Need it for 103 if anyone has one for sale.
Thanks

The Heartland tools are also available via Amazon.com.
I believe MBS Manufacturing makes the Heartland tools. Heartland tools is a brand name.

Thanks for the reply Andrew. I bought the heartland tool off amazon yesterday and they are less than 75 miles away so it should be here in a couple days. It looks like the same tool so all should be good .

Glad to hear you had good results too. Very simple and effective tool. On the subject of tools, I tried the harbor Freight Tools torque wrench on my cam install and it worked better than expected. If I did cams every day would spring for better tools but for a winter project these worked great

Been watching this thread, and maybe I missed it, but...

Would you mind posting a link of the actual bearing tool you ordered and used?

Thank you,

Shane
