Perfect for a sidevalver

I read your post on my build and I had no idea, when you told me you bent a valve I was thinking you ended up with a wobbler in the chuck, not a picture hanger :big:
If I kept everything I bent, broke, tore up.... I would look a scrap dealer.
Glad to see you and everything except the valve are ok, even something small can go flying.

my collection of "scrap" is growing nice and steady, some is recirculated, and some is classified as "art" and is hanging on "my wall of shame" :hDe::big:
