I am sorry my reply was not meant to be insulting, I have even made a copy of the same tool to see how well I could make it and believe me in time it was way mor expensive in time than buying the tool. My objection is to the others that copy and sell such as LEE VALLEY and even the Chinese have one nearly the same. I wonder, especially since I have a couple of patentable original products that in the future I plan to develop, patent and have produced, how one can protect his product best.
Once again after rereading my post I can see how you took it as an insult, I will have to be a little more careful with my wording, I have many times in my 63 yrs opened my mouth before putting brain in gear.
I for one have always looked at products I buy and wonder how one can improve on them, this tool as marketed is exceptionally well made and very handy in many occasions, I have used it to help myself and many others with truck trouble on the road and over the past 5 yrs that I have had my tool and I have referred at least 20 truckers to his product.
Again sorry no insult intended. tom

There was another post recently on one of the other forums but can't recall which one. They're a neat little tool, was given one at Christmas. To be honest haven't needed it yet but its in the arsenal.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

As I rear my naive little head again,
I must ask just what it's for?
The wire clamp I mean.
I know what my heads for, to put a hat on of course!

Nutsuj, I'm sorry you perceived Tom's reply to be an attack on you. I know the gentleman and I assure you, as he mentioned, he was not attacking you.
This forum is very open and very relaxed, that's why I'm here, sometimes the written word can carry a different meaning to the reader than intended. Please just chill, kick back and enjoy the exchanges.
