I question his statement about finding most seals not actually needing to be replaced in reference to street bikes, but I can certainly see how it might be effective for a bike like we are shown in the video.
They claim to have fixed thousands of leaking fork seals with this tool. If that's the case it's a great simple invention worth risking $5. on.
I'm sure the fork seal lobby will soon put an end to that!

Where to hang out, looking for thousands of leaking fork seals? Um, Sturgis or Daytona on fairly slow days.
