Hey Guys,
Have you seen the new tool by Mission Models "The Grabhandler" I thought this thing was going to be a tool that would suprise me with "Shock & Awe" LOL.It looks like a simple wire stripper and the price $55 USD !WOW! What a price can you believe this thing better make some pretty good bends and handles.Maybe someone will give a review pretty soon to see if it is worth it .
How about somebody come up with the
"Armor Modeling Kit"
Sprue Nippers
3 Different Tweezers
Photoetch Shears
Razor Saw w/ Miter box
Set of Files
2 Padded Hobby Knives
Pack of Sandpaper
Photoetch tool (Etchmate or Hold and Fold)
Pin Vise And Drill Bits 61-80
Maybe throw in a Figure. ( Yeah right)
We can only Dream.

I actually made something similar. I have a triangular piece of metal without the "steps". I figure out where on the triangle i want the width of the handle and clamp it with visegrips. Then I fold it just like the Grabhandler. The hardest part is cutting it.

there's about 5 bucks worth od metal in the thing...... it's a bit overkill for 55 bucks......I'll stick to my Plier set from Micromark!!

I've had one for about a week and actually use it. I have a bit of arthritis in the old didgets and less than perfect eyesight so the pliers never worked well for me.
In the words of Hunter...It works for me. :-)
