TRONEX RAZOR FLUSH TAPER CUTTER PLIERS 5"

https://www.jewelrydisplaysandboxes.com/Tronex-Razor-Flush-Taper-Cutter-Pliers-5_p_2209.html

What is the difference between a "flush taper" and a "taped flusher"?

An interesting design, but I suggest you put a lid on it, to cover up the inner workings of a system that I suspect will be widely used in the future.

From the photo it's a simple deduction that macgyver is standing behind a shower curtain and getting ready to crack somebody with a tank lid after they burst into the bathroom to see what caused the ruckus and water.

Good job macgyver..

I see nothing wrong with this installation although I think they went overboard with the fixings.

Clearly done by someone who's stuck up but I'd say they had it taped.

What does duct tape and the Enterprise have in common? They both go around Uranus and pick up klingons
