Dear list, It is with great sadness that I report the demise of my beloved brass flange inserter, which until now made an onerous task much more tolerable. I hope you know whereof I speak, the one with the long slender 8" shank and the tiny clip plate at the end to hold the flange in position. It was unavoidably flimsy because the plate had to be bent - usually several times on each job - to hold the flanges, so it was bound to give way. I can't remember whether I originally got it from Schaff, APSCO or John Ford, but of the two who still operate, neither seems to offer the tool. Does anyone have any ideas where to get one? Or possibly a different solution to the problem? Paul S. Larudee, RPT Richmond, CA
