Which are Ferrari Pliers?? Tom Shaughnessy Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'll take door number two for $50, Tom. Dr "I still can't get over $10,000 smackers for a crappy tool kit" Who
I don't have Tom's tool kit experience so I'll limit it to what I think I know - The Dino. Getting out the magnifying glass to examine the 640x640 images makes this a bit of guesswork to find the pliers for a Dino. The ones on the left seem too black when the Dino pliers have a dull, silver finish. The ones in the middle don't seem to have the correct "cross hatch" pattern on the handles which leaves the right most one and the 3rd to the right kinda looking correct for a Dino. The 3rd from the left looks too tall for a Dino, leaving the one on the far left but it looks too shiney. Is this a trick question where the answer might be none, but I know you've got real Dino pliers so have I been completely stumped?
I've every reason to believe my 330 pliers are original, but can't tell which of Tom's look the closest (third from right?): http://www.jb330gt.com/toppics/ToolsFull.jpg Hey Tom, have any oil filter wrenches for me? Cheers, Jon
Jon Looks like your tool kit is very good and pliers appear to be correct Your tool kit is quite nice Call me on the Oil filter wrench Tom Shaughnessy San Clemente

I've been told that Tom uses these pliers to locate his barn finds of crappy old Ferrari parts that he can sell for a 1,000,000 percent markup. "We have ways of making you talk!" Dr "Looking over my shoulder" Who
You just spin them on a table and they point to the closest "lost" car. You didn't know that??? I use that feature to find my car, some mornings. I live in a pretty big apartment complex, after all........sometimes a compass is needed, also. Oh, THERE it is........
Tom, I thought cad (cadmium) was an off-goldish tone, this looks like a dull silver. true? Are you and Greg getting any more Dino pliers in? I need one. Scott [email protected]
Let me guess from right to left their value doubles starting at $200 for one plier to $12800 for the oldest. A pawnshop will have better quality ones and they cost .50 cents each.
FYI As I recall from my experience with various plating processes, Zn or Cd plating can be either yellow or clear. The yellow color, referred to as "yellow Chromate" is an additional process that adds a bit more corrosion resistance to the plated part. Bill
Can anybody tell from these pics if these are correct for 250 outside plug?217 mm in length. Thanks. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Dale: From time to time, prior to consuming beverages, you have explained to me the value shifts in the currancies of the world based on goevernment interference, military pressures, supply and demand, the relative mass of the individual citizens, and the temperature variation between summer and winter in a manner which made me feel you knew how it worked[well, I am an architect] and yet when it comes to something you actually want to purchase you seem to waiver in your understanding. Really, these tools are very useful-I recently used the Daytona tool roll as a wheel chock while I fixed the handbrake with craftsman tools. And good morning. Malcolm
so Tom - when can I buy a correct 1968-style pliers from you? making any repros anytime soon? or do you have some originals for sale?? thanks!
Was the fellow from the Ferrari community and would have known better, or just another ebay scam artist?? I hate cheaters and end users that play dumb and use the "Oh I didn't know" end user card is even worse. Hope you can sort it out.
