Sound's like a result mate
congrats davek, what did you do to the bent scissors? did you use pliers just to bend it straight again?

You can barely notice now. It was much easier to do once the tool was dismantled. Once in bits, I could get the Dremel on all of the tools and clear off any remaining traces of gunge / rust.I undid the knurled screws using my Crunch to grip one side and my Charge to turn the other. The grooves in the Charge's plier jaws align pretty well with the teeth on the screws, so it was pretty easy to do.Well worth it!
How is the rivet hunt going Dave ?
I was going to ask about how you got the knurled screws apart, so now I need a Crunch . I have concerns regarding damaging the teeth on the knurled screws or the tools surface near the screws. I look forward to seeing the before & after shots Dave.
Lol.You got the Charge Ti and XTi already? Blimey, you'd better build that doghouse quite a way from your home I think
sounds nice,im waiting for pics and dave u got more Lm happiness on its way.
Doh - forget to get the cable - stay tuned folks - pictures tomorrow.
Very nice shape there Dave just curious but is the year of that tool something 96? The reason I am asking is that I got 1 of those PST II without the II and mine was made in 96 just wondering what year it was made in Thanks for the pics they look fine to me
