Just received the Adel tool. From the looks of it, these are "new old stock" which suggests when he runs out that will be it.

The one I ordered from eBay was the "561" tool. This is probably one size larger (wider jaw) from the "560" discussed earlier in this thread. The 561 holds most of the smaller adel clamps I have but just barely.

Looks like a worthy tool!

Same here, already cut it for TIG practice. That frame is really STRONG. I looked up the patent (US2409784 A ) for that tool. Filed 1943, issued '46, expired in '63.

Fair game to be remade.

Edit: Funny - what a bunch of brainiac's were are - 84 sales, BUILDERS, and no one asked what the difference was between 560 and 561 tools. I'm OK with my purchase, still maybe salvageable.

I think this one is more Haiku-ish. I like it.

Even though the 561 'hooks' are a little farther apart than desired, I found that just one hook is strong enough to hold an Adel clamp closed. Pretty cool tool and one I had never seen before.

Thumbs up

I couldn't resist....I bought one too. If it helps with the installation of one clamp, it will be worth it.

I'm with blueflyer. I ordered just because. If it helps even once, it is wort it. I also appreciate the video. I didn't order until after I found and watched it. Thanks for the input all.
