I've got HUGE paws but, they are fairly slender and the williams just don't "mesh" with me. (Hands are ~7-1/2" palm to tip, ~8-1/2" tip of thumb to tip of middle-finger) I do...

    I know this is kind-of frowned upon on here, with good reason BUT, maybe try and find him on the other forums as well. Like GG (garage.gazette) and see if he's been active on there. I'm pretty sure I've contacted him before and he seems like a pretty good guy and I'm pretty sure I saw many...

    Looking for some pliers

    Well all, I got the Channellock 526 slip-joint pliers. $9.89 at Farm and Fleet. And let me say they are GREAT!
