Roseburrough's auction, but have never been entirely clear on its intended function.  So I'm interested, too.  Thanks for asking, Eric.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=953345922-24022008><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=953345922-24022008><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>That first set of pliers is pretty wicked!</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=953345922-24022008><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=953345922-24022008><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>Annie G.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> Eric D.

Two of the three “crossbars” slide along the parallel “rods”. As shown in the last photo, the middle crossbar has two small needles that protrude about 2-3mm. I would be very appreciative if anyone could tell me what this is and how to use it.</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Thanks,</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Eric Davis, Assoc., <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:place></st1:City> Chapter</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Huntsville</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">AL</st1:State></st1:place> </P></DIV></DIV><BR> <HR SIZE=1> Looking for last minute shopping deals? <A href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=51734/*http://tools.search.yahoo.com/newsearch/category.php?category=shopping">Find them fast with Yahoo!
