What is the main advantage of using this tool?

Troubleshooting
Bushing is difficult to remove.
Ensure the shock absorber is properly secured in the vice and that you are using steady, even pressure. Check that the correct size extractor is being used and that there are no obstructions.
Tool seems to slip off the bushing.
Verify that the correct size extractor is fully seated on the bushing. Make sure the bushing itself is not excessively damaged or deformed, which could prevent a secure fit.
Shock absorber body appears to be flexing.
Adjust the grip of the vice to hold the shock body more securely without causing deformation. Ensure the pressure is being applied directly to the bushing and not to the shock body itself.
