Some round wood stock or metal tubing or metal stock will do the job

I agree and they work better also. The JPR tools were built in a 98 motor so they dont work well with the newer stuff... i have a set and use wooden dowls.

I picked up some 1/4" aluminum rods at Home Depot for $4 each worked perfect.

Either 1/4 or 5/16 rods from Home Depot work better, and fraction of the cost. Been using these to swap cams for 7-8 years now.
