Tool want-list

• Stanley #84-205A: This is listed as a bolt-cutter, but is more like a giant version of those screw cutters that are built into wire-terminal crimping tools. Two plates pivot past each other, driven by two 2-foot-long arms through a leverage-compounding mechanism. One plate has threaded holes, the other, plain holes. As the plates move past each other, they shear off the bolt and when you back the bolt out of the threaded hole, it leaves an undamaged thread. It cuts bolts from #4-40 to 5/16"-18 and plain rod in the same sizes. There are slots for cutting links as well.
  
  This tool is no longer made. After 15 years of looking and 7 years of publicizing my search on my web page, I finally found a pair on E-bay, for which I paid [I'll never tell]. I would gladly buy another pair offered in good condition. (I have one more place I want to keep one handy.) I think (just by looking) that these sold for about $20 or $25 in the 1970s when I got the first pair. Let me know what you want for yours, or the pair you see in a garage sale. (After many years, I'm still looking. If you can find this tool, I might be persuaded to pay well for it.)
