it does seem like most things can be fixed by using enough hammer.
Thanks for the welcome J-sews. Keys, even though made of brass, are pretty hard. Think about how long they last rubbing on the pins in locks and how much torque they take day in and day out. I saw a TV show on the making of keys a while back and, as I remember, they're a hard alloy and are stamped with a great deal of pressure which work hardens them. Before I posted, I tested them and they worked fine. Don't forget that there are a whole lotta contact points so the stress is well distributed. As far as the long term, I'll use hell out of them and report back.By the by, according to Kwakster, you seem to be the guy who has the line on the cool factory made tools. Is that true?Goldmeister
Mickey d,Thanks for the welcome. Judging by your number of posts, it looks like you've been around since the very beginning. Having been called Mate by two different members in a space of a few hours, would it be safe to assume there's a contingent from OZ and/or the UK? Always good company and a match for "Yankee Ingenuity" any day!Goldmeister

Yeah, one of their habits is the way they take a thread off-topic. They do this constantly. I'm proud to say that I never do that.
