All,
This is still a great tool. You can use it to cut screws and soft bolts to very precise lengths. Going to replace all the kitchen cabinet knobs and the new screws are too long? Working on building a go box and the screws you have go through the nut and protrude, creating a snag/cut danger? Don’t cut with a hacksaw or use a cutoff wheel to grind it down, cut it to the right length! These things are great and another one just popped up on eBay – VINTAGE STANLEY JOBMASTER 84-205 BOLT AND THREADED ROD CUTTER BENDER TOOL USA. It is listed for $139. This is a “lifetime” tool where you buy it once and then leave it to one of your kids when you pass. Please read the thread above for more details.
Enjoy,
