I thought you guys might be interested in the "strain relief" pliers that arrived today. I purchased these on July 30 so it took almost 1 month to arrive. Considering I paid $5 bucks with free shipping, they were a bargain. They actually feel fairly sturdy and I'm sure they'll fit the bill. I sure could have used them this past weekend while I was tearing into that Cambridge Soundworks Model Eleven amp. Would have saved me the desouldering I had to do.
