Any body familiar with that? Hi, Oh Yes! I once used a pair of carpenter's pincers, you know, the things for pulling out nails! But your tool looks like it would work a whole lot better! You can also get a special type of plier for closing them up again. Steve Edited November 12, 2008 by SteveBrambley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that legal?!? Sounds like something a pick-pocket would have. I think it's one of those things you castrate calves with! Can I borrow it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete Report post Posted November 13, 2008 ok.....so we figured out what it is. I can't figure out ow to use it! pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveBrambley Report post Posted November 14, 2008 ok.....so we figured out what it is.I can't figure out ow to use it! pete Very simple! You turn the frame upside down, so the groove is uppermost, you then place the wedge part of the opener in said groove, with the flat 'platform' part underneath and then just squeeze the legs of the tool together. You then work your way along the frame, opening up the groove a section at a time; this will force the groove apart wide enough to allow the top of the purse to be inserted inside. Once the frame is fully in place, the frame closing tool (plier) is used to crimp the frame tight onto the purse. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
