MessageHello Hubert and List
This talk about short round-nosed pliers got me to look at mine. I do =
quite a lot of bass string splicing - saving the client a lot in string =
replacement (never works, replacing one out of a pair, does it!) Made me =
realise just how much I value what I have. Made by HOPPE in Western =
Germany, they are 4 and 3/4" (the ALT+0190 doesn't seem to work in =
Outlook Express...) long and have a wire cutter hole as well. VERY =
strong - which is essential for close bending 0.053" piano wire for the =
preforming of the two  reef-knot halves.
Regards

  Hi Guys,

  Vigor makes very good tools. I have several that I have used for =
years. I found their phone number in the library and called them. They =
sent me a catalog and I ordered what I wanted. I lost it in my last =
move. It may be listed somewhere online under Optical Tools and =
Supplies. Expensive but worth every penny.

    I "inherited" one (brand name Vigor) from a retired opthamologist =
that really work well.  They are so much better that I feel awkward =
using anything else.

    I talked once with an optical (glasses) dispenser who said that he =
would be willing to hitch me up with some.  Maybe you can give that =
avenue a try.

      Where can I get some high-quality, short-jawed round-nosed pliers =
(for string splicing)?

      I bought a pair from Schaff a few years ago and they are junk.

      Thankee in advance.
