I use the Rock Shox clamping tools or soft jaws as appropriate. The Rock Shox clamps are expensive but superb quality.
In contrast, I fitted a Vorsprung Luftkappe the other day on my own fork and used the shaft clamp TF Tuned supply. I went ahead and used it without checking the clamp properly. It made a slight scratch to the air shaft. Very slight so using some fine emory cloth I smoothed it out. Will see if this works long term, right now the Luftkappe does it job very well.
The TF Tuned clamp I received is made very poorly. So if anyone else fits a Luftkappe check the clamp!
