Hemostats are the clamplike devices dangling from veins and arteries in melodramatic operating scenes. Our particular collection are Pakistani surgical-grade instruments made of magnetic stainless steel. As such we rate them pretty good, but not fantastic. Hemostats look like little pliers. The jaws are relatively fine, with rounded tips. The inside faces are lightly serrated to get a grip on tubing or body plumbing. And the handles are much longer than the jaws. Ratchets between the handles click together to lock the hemostat in a closed position. To release the clamps, push the handles apart at 90 degrees to the plane of the jaws. Now the heavenly part. Great hobby clamps that can be worked into small areas. Fine heat sinks for electronics. Good hook extractors for trout fisherpeople. Excellent tubing clamps for flow-sensitive chemistry experiments. Sizes are approximate length.

We like these small pliers and cutters - they're a higher quality than most of the Chinese import tools we're offered. They are drop-forged, high-carbon steel with double-leaf springs, lap joints and rubberized foam handles. There is a trim 6" needle nose, and a 4-1/2" mini-round diagonal cutter. For precision work and hobbies, and especially nice for anyone with small hands.

AKA automatic stripper. Sorry folks, but this one strips insulation to reveal wire, not flesh. Which may still give you a charge, depending upon your hookup!! 6-1/2" Long with pliers type grip and automatic self-adjustment to strip wires from 0.2 to 6mm without damaging the wire says the manufacturer. We recommend use on 18 GA stranded, 22 GA solid wire or heavier as it will cut the wire of lighter weights. A second jaw is a cable cutter. Brand new, made in China. And very handy too, if you are doing anything with wiring.

Not every well-made rotary tool is a big-D. We consider this one not only a good-quality tool, but an excellent buy. The fitted plastic carrying case 12" x 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" contains not only the 120VAC-powered 8,000-30,000 rpm mini grinder, but a stand with a C-clamp to mount it on a bench or table, a 3-ft extension shaft, and a good assortment of bits, grinding stones, cut-off wheels, etc, including collets to fit 1/8" and 1/16" bits. The telescoping stand extends from 10" to almost 22" and holds the tool above your work, while you grind, sand, cut, etc., with the tip of the convenient, easy-to-grip, flexible extension. A nice package, and a very nice gift for yourself, or for anyone who enjoys working with hobby tools.

What a cool little clamp! Only 8" long overall, the jaws open to 4" when you press the release button and close incrementally as you pull the trigger. The 3/4" x 7/8" pads on the metal-and-plastic tool won't mar the surfaces they're sandwiching. Makes you want to find something to clamp!

Wouldn't mind getting these our ownse'f, as they say in the South. A very nice modular screwdriver set with (7) double-bit shafts and a 4" long handle with a threaded collet, a striated rubber grip and a spinning jeweler's top for easy one-hand use. The shafts are 4-3/4" long OA and can be adjusted from 4" long to 3/4" long for close work. The business ends include: T6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15 and 20 TORX bits; #00, #0 and #1 Phillips bits; and 2mm, 3mm and 4mm slotted bits. You might notice that 7 shafts X 2 ends = 14, but there are 13 sizes listed. How come? Seems there are (2) T15s, which doesn't bother us a bit.
