    So I put a set of these on my X-mas list as a space filler. Well wouldn't you know my wife and inlaws bought me a set from the UK.

    They are made by Nigel Fennell in the UK. I used them today and they are a fantastic set of pulloffs. After shipping (which is quite expensive really) they were still less expensive than GE's. I don't know why no one makes this design anymore. It's much better than all the small headed flat faced pull offs available today.


    Also he makes handmades from rasps. I'd really like to know how he forges the jaws. If anyone has any insight I'd love to have a go at it.

    That's quite a few they got you there. You must go through pulloffs quick or have a large crew. I just give the help some old Diamonds.
    Foreman seems to make a fine tool.

    No Kidding. I'd really like to know how to go about making the jaws from a rasp. Some kind of weird bend is required.
