I gave up on collet pin vices and bought one with a chuck, much more user friendly.

What make is that Bob?
Alan, it's this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Expo-High-Quality-Chuck-75070/dp/B00APZZKW8
What a good idea. Didn't know they were made with a chuck. Changing the collet is a pain.
Thanks
When Rachel comments on my tools in any way I always come back with....

thanks for sharing that I've got some with a collet too but sometimes running to the problem that's none of them quite fit the drill size I am using, so this would be much better.
Thanks again.

Bob seems to have drifted off subject a bit but one question about the snips that hasent been asked is what are they like with gnarly old toe nails can they cope with only a blade on one side. Dave the
Was going to try on my ginger moggie, but he gave me his ninja look!

Enjoy reading the review Bob. There's a lot in the saying " You get what you pay for "
Over the years I've bought many tools , when at work like you buying some "Snap-on " I would buy top quality because I needed reliability.
At first in modelling I had those cheap snips, but eventually went for the Tamiya, certainly hadn't heard of that make you mentioned. Having read a review then I may have well bought those.
My most expensive hand tools were a pair of Zucron pe snips, well worth the expense as they can cut so close. Just a pity I can use most of the PE :smiling2:

Well I never! Similar to you, there are brands I've never heard of - in my case it's Zucron and they already come with a recommendation! Will do some research, Ta very much chaps!

Sorry John not doing the school teacher thing on you buddy but did you mean Xuron. Not that I use them but I think their snips are a pretty safe recommendation as well ,long established American hobby tool company model rail etc. Dave

Thanks Dave, I was in bed last night when I wrote that, Zucron is a sugar I think ! God I've lost the plot :smiling2:

Steve , unfortunately there is no such name, so I hope you didn't try to do a search , I was having a senior moment :smiling3:
That explains why sugar tongs do not cut things off the sprues

Trust you :smiling3::smiling3::smiling3:That explains why sugar tongs do not cut things off the sprues
What about sweetners??
G
Go away ! :blow-kiss-2::smiling:
Was going to do a review on sugar tongs but dropped the sweetners into my coffee, bugger:upside::tongue-out3::thumb2:
And there was me thinking I'd totally lost the plot, thanks Johnny Walker! :thinking:
