Wow!!! I can't believe that there is a tool that you don't =

about!!!<br>
Now I'm REALLY worried about the security of our country. =

It is in my Renner USA catalog as Check Bending Pliers #1602 on =<br>
page3-11.<br>
I bought it at a Convention. The tool looks exactly like the =
typical<br>
backcheck wire bending pliers that Schaff sells...cat.#5502, page 50 =
or<br>
Pianotek's # BPL-1F on page D23, but they machined it, upon Richard<br>
Davenport's urging, to bend the wire at the 70 degree angle. =20<br>
