Re: a cool tool

I researched the patent on it. it goes back to a design originated in the late 60s. the current design is really quite ingenious. my boss had one just like this he has used for over 15 years before it gave out last month. we now have 2 at the shop.
I suggest getting one.

Re: a cool tool

Re: a cool tool

I've had one from the early 70's. If I remember right they sold for $35 at the time. Mine still works.

yours was most likely sold by Chrysler Motors, right? I have one of those, it no longer works. I am thinking of fixing it (bad capacitors)
