It fits the magazines perfectly and has a comfortable serreted landing for the thumb to push the follower down. I have stronger springs in my aftermarket P 08 magazines, installed by GT, and without this tool my thumb would probably be gone by now.

It's $3.99 at Midway currently backordered.

They are on ebay too; but more $ than the first type.
I find a good repro of the original tool works just fine.
