I have to ask: what is a "bullion cube"?
Quote from: Omar Rapace on February 01, 2016, 02:14:00 AMI have to ask: what is a "bullion cube"?Its a cube of preserved chicken renderings (read: really salty) used to make chicken stock/broth (1 cube per 8oz of water).It has pretty similar properties to a sugar cube, if that helps.
Maybe I should have crushed some bullion cubes first? I'm almost afraid to do it.

I for a moment thought that the OP was trying to crunch gold ;-)So now I am totally puzzled: bouillon cubes can be crumbled by hand. How come the SP 2.0 failed that?
Update!I broke the new Switchplier 2.0 today! No bullion or bouillon this time, but rather a 3/8" aluminum tube that I wanted to squeeze one end shut on, then fold it over. While I was squeezing the end shut once again something in the pliers broke and now they're all mushy again. I realize that this a light duty tool, but I'm not really squeezing that hard. And once again, another tool, this time a Gerber Diesel, had to finish the job.Am I the only one who's actually using his Switichplier 2.0 to do work with? Or have I just gotten a couple of lemons? Is it a design flaw or just crappy materials?Not sure what I should do here. I guess I'll send it back again, but I doubt I'll ever really use it again after this.
Might be time to open it up and identify which part is defective...
