<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I "inherited" one (brand name Vigor) from a retired
