I can't seem to be = able to lay my hands on the "specific" pliers, at this moment. (While searching for = them, I found a few other "lost" items!<G>) My shop is in a bit of a mess = right now, what with the ongoing action "manufacture".</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Enclosed is a picture of the compound = Grand Shank Pliers and some Slip Jaw Pliers. The tool I was/am looking for is based = on the Slip Jaw Pliers/modified. The principle is similar to the Grand Hammer Pliers.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I did, was weld a "tine" on either = side of one jaw of the Slip Jaw Pliers. On the the other jaw, I welded a 1/2" steel = rod. Then, I ground off the "tine jaw, so that the steel rod would clear = between the "tines". This works fairly well. But, as I said in my last post, if I = had to do it again, (and I will if I can't find the originals!), I'd put the = 1/2" steel rod on a vertical pivot, so that it would "follow" the lead out = the hole w/o traumatizing the hole.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Grand Hammer Extracting Pliers will = suffice for this job. Hmmm? I might just "modify" them, as in exchangeable jaws! = That might work, by golly!<G></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this gives you some ideas.<G></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best Regards,<BR></DIV></FONT> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.<BR>Captain, Tool Police<BR>Squares R I</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
