You can use it for any yoyo if you make the pads in the size for any particular response groove. ---

The hardest part, for me, was finding a punch that was the proper size. I ended up making a punch out of titanium. ---

I made another smaller punch that slid inside of the larger one so that you can punch both holes at once. That way you don’t have to guess when lining up another hole. ---
