<DIV> Thanks Rich</DIV>
<DIV> <STRONG>This set does have staples</STRONG> &am=

has been sitting in a box on my shelf. They were in use for a while & th=

were severly needled over many hours & days & I could never get the =

this sound ,and are good at getting what they want ,but I do not.</DIV>
<DIV> Lloyd & Donna great folks & are always responsive to mak=

people happy & they sell so many other great parts. I think th=
is
can happen to any hammer maker by the way. It's not a perfect science &
these folks are at the mercy of felt makers,glue makers & pressman for
quality hammers.</DIV>
