I am going to have to use Will Smith's line from "Independance Day" . . . . "I gotta get me one of these!"

Spiffy little tools like this just make it so easy to do all those frustrating things.

You NEVER have enough tools!

Thanks for showing this.

Ditto. The more tools I collect, the easier it gets to hack up....Umm, I mean precision build a slot car.

Jeez, who's the hand model they got for this gig? Must have paid them in DumDums. :lol:

Looks like a great tool for the job, though. They can't pick a hand model, but they sure do know their slot car stuff. :)

I will try to make one.

Note to self - get manicure before next photo shoot. What a tough crowd...

Who would have thought that a bunch of slot car enthusiasts would be so sensitive about hands?

It's only a few weeks since Ember was getting a ribbing about her hands when they appeared in a photo.

If I have to take pictures of hand-held objects, I'm wearing Marigolds!! :lol:

The tool actually looks like a tack puller. I used similar tools when we would tack ejection rubber glued to cardstock back on cutting dies. Later on they started using a different adhesive on the rubber, and glued it directly to the wood in the die, so no more need for the tack puller. :)

Dickie's mancurist just happened to be on vacation. I'm sure it'll be taken care of toot sweet. :lol:

It's a chip lifter for electronics work. But it is perfect for the illustrated uses! I have far too many Wera screwdrivers in various toolbags - I love 'em.
