Were you referring to the Wind Lever or the Rewind Crank when talking
about generating enough torque. There is a machined lip in the Rewind
Crank wrench such that it can generate more torque than you might
imagine. The Wind Lever tool has a hex body, so greater torque than the
camera or the tool pins could withstand is possible with a wrench.
Of course, I've only opened up a tiny fraction of the cameras you have,
so I don't know how tight things can be.

I recently bought a set of tools for opening up OM bodies. Although I
had tools sufficient to do this before, these are superior to what I was
using. They are beautifully designed and manufactured tools. The
manufacturer is listing them on eBay, with some coming up tomorrow
morning in a dutch auction.
The tools do appear to be well manufactured, but I would be very careful
when using his wind lever wrench. Any tool which uses the two pinhole openings
on the top of the wind lever cap will probably do damage to the trim plate.
The same goes for the self timer cap. The best tool for the job is a plain
and simple high quality rubber stopper. Some of the wind lever caps are also
on very tight, I have my doubts that you'll be able to get enough torque with
his tool to get them off. The other tools look good though.
