Kensal, I tried to open up the smallest tool, but it would not work. The other two were too large. I'll figure something out. The threads are the same and the bead goes into the rib about 2/3 of the way. A bit of careful needle filing should help. I don't want to overdo it, seeing as the tapered threads assist in providing a tight fit once the bead is seated.

I use a fraction of a drop of super glue on them and it keeps them in place for me after filing to fit.

Well, I managed to get one of the bead tools to work! I carefully reduced the thread diameter on the bead with a needle file and installed it. Not a real crisis, I guess, but original Parker beads are probably not common and I did not wish to ruin the one I just bought.
