Definitely nail clippers, like scissors they have basicly not changed for centurys. I showed a Podiatrist an early (1820s) pair once, she exclaimed "you can't use those they are too curved". Modern materials and finishes and a bit of twigging, otherwise unchanged!. Looks like yours are "users"?

thank you. These are clean and nice, they look new. I tested them on my fingernails and they do well.  Seemed strange that they were in with the wrenches
I would like to show all the wrenches I got for $20 but I do not know how this forum figures the size of the photographs. Will someone please explain to me?

Read this thread- http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=61.0

Optimum picture size is 640x480, but 800x.... will do.
If you use Photobucket or other photo hosting sites, they give you links to use for your pictures for the web. Use the "BB Code" link.

Thank you papaw, I have read that post and have used irfanview for many years and and I can post pictures. My question was:     how does this forum figure the size of the photographs. Will someone please explain to me?

I have a picture I would like to show you. On my puter the pic has numbers at the bottom
3664x2748x24BPP  595/624  23%  1.75MB/28.81  MB

What do these numbers  mean?

3664x2748 are the dimensions of the picture. Reduce it in your software to 800x or 640x , save with a new file name and post on the forum.

There is $20 worth of hammers.  You can't have days like THAT sitting in a shop for several months.  I need to get out!


Congrats!  Nice truck.  What year, model?

3664x2748 are the dimensions of the picture. Reduce it in your software to 800x or 640x , save with a new file name and post on the forum.

I've posted this before, It's not the physical size of the picture but the resolution that has limits.
"Restrictions: 10 per post, maximum total size 800KB, maximum individual size 250KB"

Here a picture of a Coes wrench that is 1800px long by 550px wide but only 70.42KB resolution. Click on picture to see full size.

You can lower the resolution by compressing it in irfanview or other photo editors.

It doesnt matter how many times you post that information, I do not comprehend what it means. I can understand Papaws explanation

Any tool sale worth its salt has plenty of 2-cycle oil.
