[Alberg30] RE: Public-list digest, Vol 1 #89 -dripless packing

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

Hugh,
The scribe noted by Bob Johns should be available at a Sears Tool Center.
Not only does it make pulling packing easy, it's handy for a million other
general uses. Every mechanic (or part time mechanic) should have a couple of
these laying around.
Good Luck,      Brian          Free Spirit   #497
