Not sure if this is the right place, so move to the appropriate sub-forum if necessary.
I recently received my Mac Tri-edc and as others have noted, the plastic retaining ring for the boot is easily scratched and there are no tools available to make the removal easy.
I started communication with a local machine shop to see if some could be made out of metal, either brass or stainless steel with a custom spanner tool for removal.
I'm considering having about 25 or so made but wanted to see if there is enough interest in the community to have more made. Price would around 20-25 dollars. I'm still in the design process if a tool would be beneficial or if slots for needle nose pliers would be an option.
Your thoughts and comments are helpful!

UPDATE:
After talking things through with Isaac, it has been decided that we will go with multiple holes. This way if one set gets buggered up, you have another set to work with. I am also looking into having a custom tool made as well. You would still be able to use a tool of your own if you loose or damage the one that is being made. Thanks for all the input!
