My first attempt at installing my Kluson tuner inserts was trying to hammer them in with a short piece of dowel after the inserts had been in the freezer. Yeah right! I got the first one about 1/16" from being flush after going through 3 pieces of dowel. In desperation, I started looking through my tools for an alternative. I found it! A Robo Grip tool with protectors slipped over the jaws. It worked perfectly for squeezing in those inserts... no damage to the wood or the insert whatsoever. I'll post a picture shortly.
EDIT:
I don't have pictures of the process. My camera batteries died. I've got a few bad pics from my cell phone of the tool and the tuners installed.
