hehehe... you said assenmacher!  :D

handy tool to have. A quick, well-aimed jet from a shop air nozzle works well too.
I repair, maintain and modify VW's and BMW's.
Good work done at affordable rates. Welding and fabricating, too.

I just used those exact plyers bought from ZDMak last weekend at the local j-yard, they work well, however I did have to tighten the "teeth" on the plyers 2 times.
