Tin snips are tools used to cut thin sheet metal.
http://cuttingtools.blogth.com/
Tin snips are tools used to cut thin sheet metal. They use the same
principles as common scissors, but are able to handle thicker and
harder material. There are three different types of tin snips;
straight cutting, left cutting, and right cutting. Straight cutting in
a straight line, left cutting snips (usually red) will cut in a curve
to the left, and right cutting snips (usually green) will cut in a
curve to the right.
http://cuttingtools.blogth.com/
In practical use the red snips pictured will be used in the right
hand, for straight or curving cuts, with the base material to the
right being cut neatly and the left hand will be pulling away a
spiraling offcut. The green snips work in the opposite fashion in the
left hand, with the waste being on the right.
A similar tool called aviation snips can cut sheet metal with less
effort than tin snips. A compound lever mechanism provides greater
control with less effort. The serrated jaws prevent slippage and
withstand heavy use. Also it is designed with a latch than holds the
jaws closed if desired. The insulated handles have the same color-
coding as with tin snips described above.

A tool called a hand notcher makes clean V-shaped cuts in sheet metal
without slippage. The compound-action handles produce necessary
leverage for fast cutting.

So if you are being snippy that is the same as saying you are making
cutting remarks.

Surgeons _have_ been known to use back saws to cut backs. <grin>
OTOH, I've got an offset screwdriver, but could never find an offset that
needed screwing -- if I _were_ so inclined that is.

A first-class option -- especially for their spam-filtering -- is 'supernews'.
Giganews, and Easynews are the other 'big boys' in the news provider biz.
'newsguy.com' is a smaller operation, but nearly as good as supernews.
Astraweb is pretty good, and offers _inexpensive_ FIXED PRICE service -- access
by the gigabyte of data, regardless of how long it takes to use up. For text-
only access, a minimal ($25, I think) account will last for _years_ -- probably
decades. :)
news.individual.net offers text-only groups for an annual pittance of under
US$20. Astraweb is a better deal, unless you're a really heavy user.
Terranews can be erratic quality -- *especially* their near-free service.
usenetserver.com is facing a major lawsuit, and long-term is 'iffy'.
_meganewsservers.com_ is one to *definitely* stay away from. "1/4-assed" is
a charitable description. One minor example -- *NO* week-end staff whatsoever.
If, at say 7PM Friday Evening, the server crashes (totally dead-in-the-water),
there's nobody to even look at it untill something like 8:30AM monday morning.

No, I'm not. Puckdropper comes from when I was too young to play
hockey with the guys my Dad played with, so they'd let me drop the
puck after a goal was scored.
I do usually have something to say about offsides, though. It's a
habit from playing pick up hockey.

I went with Astraweb. 90 GB for $25, that'll keep me going for a long,
long time.
Thanks for the information.

Men's League, but we follow pretty standard rules. The player was in the
offensive zone, slow to clear the zone and his teammates iced the puck
from the defensive zone.

What age is mites? They had a tournament going on with some rather young
kids (elementary school age) at the rink today. Some of it was good
hockey, and some was everyone's in the corner chasing the puck. (I only
watched about 5 minutes.)

Hmmm...yeah, maybe you're right. In fact, you're definitely right.
Tagging up, delayed offsides, offsides (or 2 line) pass and the
different variations of all of them. In fact, I'm not even sure what
rules are used in what leagues any more!
> After it happened, the Zebra said icing overrules offsides.
So the player was behind the goal line and recieved a "pass"? Talk
about cherry picking. NHL? NCAA? Men's League? That's a toughy.
It's "Mite Fest" this weekend in addition to states, so I'll check out
the rules for NYS High School and Youth Hockey. My nephew drives me
nuts, he sort of roams around with one hand on his stick, hardly
backchecking, hardly hustling until he somehow gets the puck and then
he turns it on. Unfortunately, he's the leading scorer. For now. I
think it's going to be really tough for him when the other kids catch
up and he can no longer just skate around them. I don't know how

We didn't get ice, but had some snow freeze before I had a chance to plow
my sister's driveway. (I did mine first and ran out of daylight.) I
pushed as much snow off as I could, then dumped salt on the driveway with
a pull-behind spreader. Once the sun came out, it started working pretty
good.

Hell I used mine to open some salt bags recently. Having a long drive
that mostly goes up to your home sucks, when Mother Nature gives you
2" of ice and the another 1" after the first has melted. First year

Leonard Lee, Robin's father and founder of Lee Valley Tools, has been
very active in design and re-design of surgical/medical tools. Want an
unobtanium doohicky driver? Lee's your man.
But I tell ya, before any surgeon cuts me, I want to see Olfa and
Festool.

In the real old days, I heard they had to actually place the puck on
the ice for face-offs. Probably discouraged quite a few potential
zebras.

Oh god, you must really confuse the non-hockey folks with that. For
what's seemingly a simple rule, there's an awful lot of confusion when
I try to explain it.
My old high-school team has a state tourney game tomorrow. I'll
probably go and root them on with a few of the alums, and talk about
how much better *we* used to play! <g>

It'd sure have discouraged me. Dropping the puck, I had quite a bit
of my equipment hit one way or another. (I did wear full equipment.)

It's a really complex rule, actually. You can't cross the blue line
before the puck. What counts as "in the zone"? What happens if you
do this or that while offsides? Or here's a good one... Let's say
you're in the offensive zone, offsides. Your team then ices the puck
and you touch it. Is it icing or offsides?
After it happened, the Zebra said icing overrules offsides.

Funny you mention this, we were watching one of those educational channels
where they were showing brain surgery and the surgeon used a 9.6v Makita
cordless drill to make a hole in the skull. I recognized it since it was
the same one I have in my garage.

What then are aviation snips for? Cutting planes?
Wonder if they're related to that "aircraft remover" stuff in the
clearance aisle?
