I use one too and find it to be very simple. I use the split limb adaptors and hook them over the tips of the limbs so the tool is between the string and cables. Very little pressure is needed and it works great this way with no marks on the limbs and the limbs are being pulled at the axle point. Way less pressure than drawing the bow even. I even designed a bow holder (vise) so that the bow can be supported with the string upwards and very secure. It screws into the stabilizer hole and pivots on all axises so the bow can be swung from side to side, straight up and down for mounting accessories, and in the correct pressing position. My grandfather welded it up for me and it works great, just needs a little paint to clean it up a bit.
