    Yes. I watch many as well. No safety standards, but very resourceful people. And resilient it seems.

    I'm personally not up on gauge as such but I cut a 1/16" piece of sheet with no problem

    Train Jack. 35 ton I was told. Anyone know something about it?

    Just pick this up at the local knick-knack and novelty store that was closing out. It definitely works. Obviously the handle extension is not any longer available. Just curious if anyone knows what this is all about. Thanks for now

    This is the only one I've personally seen in my life. I'm a tool guy in general and 60. I'm in BC Canada though. Where are you?

    Wow. Really cool. 22.70 back in the day. I wonder how rare they are now?

    Interesting and thanks! These are different in some respects, including brand. I wish there were overall lengths provided. I assume the lengths quoted are referring to the shear aspect only. As I mentioned mine are 39 1/2" overall length.

    I picked these up yesterday at a local second-hand store that was closing out. It's 39 1/2" tall. In excellent condition in terms of the cutting and movement aspects. I'm curious if anyone knows what they were originally used for?
