here's another good use for hemostats.. when installing those hard to put on lines, insert the hemos in the line about 3/16" , then pry open with a screwdriver and leave it that way for 5 mins. then remove the screwdriver and hemos and install the line quick. it will shrink back tight. then safety with your saftey wire tools of choice.. there's mine in the pic too.. back in the good ole days i used to brag that i could knit a sweeter with those plyers. hehe
