Re: [CAUT] Grand Hammer ExtractorI didn't think much of the tool.  Not =
so much the design, but the fact that mine at least was made of aluminum =
(or some soft metal), and the gears simply wore away.  If it had been =
constructed of steel, particularly tool-grade steel, I'd still have it.

A better design might be to incorporate compound leverage (such as used =
in most music wire cutters), which should allow more or less effortless =
removal.  I'm sorely tempted to build one myself (I wouldn't be =
surprised if Bill Spurlock has designed a tool like that).

Best,

Jeff

  Bingo! That's the one. I called and spoke to Schaff. They found the =
old part number but weren't sure if they had one lying around somewhere.

    If you have an old APSCO catalog, I think he's talking about cat =
number 16176 on page 21.
    It is possible that Schaff may have some in a bin somewhere, even if =
they're not in the catalog.
