I owned one of these about twenty years ago and lost it along my journeys... I had replace it with cheaper quality and lower priced alternatives, as the distributor I dealt with had gone out of buisness and I just couldn't find it anywhere. This was a tool that I really was disappointed to have to live without. I used to attach thousands upon thousands of wires to terminal strips, electrical components,etc. This tool held up to the rigors of the Electrical trade and I had put it through it's paces almost everyday with never a problem. I paid almost twice the price back in the day for this little gem and when I saw it here on Amazon, and the price, it was a no brainer! I pulled the trigger immediatley!!! This tool is a keeper!!!
