Why do I have 71.5 pliers?

Proof. Read.

sigh

nope, their pliers. They have normal flat heads for holding things. It’s just that instead of the the normal flat edges that pass by each other to cut things at the bottom, they have hole shaped grooves.

Cheerio then.

Er … wolfman, you’re a guy. Guys have tools (in every sense). Get used to it.

You may now all bow down before my most excellent and fully operational Catalog N[sup]o[/sup]3 full-metal-body 1960[sup]s[/sup] vintage Dremel tool, complete with metal boxed Kit N[sup]o[/sup]233 made in Racine, Wisconsin. Bought for all of $18.[sup]00[/sup] at the nearby Starvation Army.

I’ll admit to being a tool ho as well. Subconscious motivation played a major part, no doubt, in my starting a construction business as a justification to buy more tools!

There is a large measure of satisfaction in getting Christmas Eve calls from friends who are putting together a Dizwanger 8000 XLT with Turboglide who discover at 2345z that the last 10-24 machine screw has buggered threads and they will pay great sums of money, offer beer and more, for the assistance of the Tool Gods. :smiley:

This is mpsims all the way! I however possess the utmost in usless tool creations. A few years back I purchased a used tool box, complete with the tools from a mechanics widow. Aside from the usual expected home-made creations, there was one crescent or, adjustable wrench that made shop history.

An adjustable head at BOTH ends!:confused:

Most of the ones I’ve seen have a hole in the handle for hanging or, what not. This one was factory made and, still has it’s own little spot in my daily box o’ tools.

This is why I’ve learned it’s best not to attempt eating or drinking while here. Otherwise, I’d be needing a new keyboard right now. :stuck_out_tongue:
