Dave Doremus asked: "Hi List, I am facing replacing all key leads in a =
S&S D, due to major=20
swelling/corrosion problems. Has anyone, especially those who do a=20
lot of re weighing, got a tool that will help cleanly remove so many=20
leads? I seem to remember a set of pliers advertised for this job but=20
at the time I balked at the price."

Dave,
I have such a tool. However it only works on key leads w/hole all the =
way through the key(s). If I were to make another one, I'd make the =
"anvil" on a pivot, which would cause less trauma to the key(s). I'll =
post a picture of it after this.
Best Regards,
