Growing up in a hardware store, I've always been fascinated by tools. I think this one is really neat b/c it performs the task elegantly and is so simply constructed. My only observation is that is seems like it would only be useful for certain sized problems where as comealongs or similar would be able to fix a wire problem that is longer than the jaws on this one. But I've never had to do this so I don't know if this is just the most common size of stretched wire.

A trip through the Bush-Hog doesn't do much for a Bailey's either. Gives them that nice, weathered look.
