Vice grip the make is. You can get them off Snap-On or you can get the proper tool.

I use mole grips, you can get hold of them and then wind the adjustment screw in to open them out further....

If you look at http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1162397695

there's a picture of the one's I use.

Machine Mart used to sell a pair, can't find them on their web site, but they're in the Autumn/Winter Cat.

Nah, too shiny, just like that old 'Izal' paper - remember it? also used as tracing paper!



Took the unusal cleaning method of smearing everything around until you could no longer see it, rather than actual cleaning

great stuff!

Just got the latest catalogue, seems to have been withdrawn.

I think Sealy sell them, don't know about Draper.
