The over powder wad and cushion wad easily press in the hull first with your thumb and and then use an ordinary dowel over the wad column with 90lbs. pressure. The powder doesn't necessarily need compression although all of the air must be squeezed(forced) out.
I couldn't verify any Parker nomenclature on the tool, although it could be a Parker tool. I really don't know. I do know the Wad Guide in my photo is not a Parker Bros. branded tool.
