Three color 5" x 13" ad for "the Handiest Plier of them all". There is a picture of this tool open-wide and ready to accept a bolt that is being held over it by a male hand with the caption asking if it is "Too tough for your fingers?". The text has the deceptive claim that it "grips 'em all...big or small" just after it mentions that it is available in "Your choice of five jaw capacities: 1/2, 7/8, 1 1/2, 2 and 2 1/4 inches". This ad is taller than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |
