<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill's clamps are wonderful! However,
do use some caution when carrying keys by the clamp handles.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, speaking of the original wood
clamps with leather handles. With age and usage the leather does
rot. Not fun when the tech was carrying a set of clamped keys in to
my shop for keybushing. One handle broke and sent a half set of perfect,
white ivories down to the cement driveway. 'Head' first, of
course. Major repairs ensued.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So...I thought the aluminum with the nylon
handles were a fantastic improvement. Until flipping a set on the bench
and one of the handle attaching screws pulled through the nylon handle!
The hole in the nylon had enlarged.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I've modified the handles with the
addition of fender washers between the screw heads and the handles.
All's well so far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best bet, frequently inspect for
wear.</FONT></DIV>
