Cute!
BTW, has anybody noticed that the traffic on Shop-Talk has increased since
somebody mentioned Craftsman Tools? Its actually better than asking about
which air compressor to buy.
Another BTW...I have one of those auto-adjust Vise-Grips from Craftsman and I
really don't like it. You need two hands to grab something with it because
you have to open it so far. Give me a regular set of real Vise-Grips.
Plus, with real Vise-Grips you can set how tightly you want them to clamp. I
really cranked them down on a rear wheel cylinder bleed screw (after I
twisted the brake pipe off!) with the cylinder in the bench vise. STILL
couldn't get the bleed screw off! I was replacing the cylinder anyway, but
didya ever have one of those days when you just HAD to get that dang thing
loose?!?
Also, have you tried the new Vise-Grip nut-grabber? (That sounds bad!) It
has a special jaw that really grips a hex nut. A good buy IMHO.
Just my 2 cents. (While killing the rest of the day at work.)
