Pay special attention to this photo. Like his fellow confessed
hack,
Maxprop,
Nellen doesn't know what tools are needed to do jobs properly.
Like Max,
Nellen
has damaged hardware by using vice-grips, rather than a properly
sized
wrench.
Look at that gouge! Bristol? Ouch!

Does not appear to be vice grip damage. No teeth marks and the edge
of the
face is not rounded. It more resembles the work of a pipe wrench if
anything.


Hack work with the wrong tools, regardless. That nasty scar could
easily
be from
vicegrips or channel-loks. Highly doubtful that it was a pipe
wrench.

Looks like he used a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to break it
loose.


That would be a pretty bizarre and ineffective thing to do. Put proper
sized
wrenchs on the flats of the two parts and they always come apart
without much
fuss if they were properly assembled to begin with. Then again, Nellen
specializes in being bizarre and ineffective...

All you Bozos prove by your ignorant statements that you have NEVER
reused a Sta-Lok fitting. Had any of you lamers ever reused a Sta-Lok
fitting you would know that to disassemble them one must first clamp the
terminal body upside down in the jaws of a vice at the eye/pin area.
Then a wrench is used to spin the compression nut out of the body. Then
one must clamp the compression nut in the jaws of a vice. Then one must
use a hacksaw to cut the wire flush with the compression nut. With the
compression nut still firmly clamped in the jaws of the vice one uses a
punch to knock out the crimped wire/cone remains from the compression
nut. Those marks on the side you see were most like the result of the
vice jaws and if any marks are noted on the top of the compression nut
it was probably the result of it being "kissed" by the hacksaw blade.

What a bunch of ruckin' fetards! But, keep trying. One of these days
you might convince yourselves that you know even a tiny bit about
Bristol standing rigging.
