A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

The angle head would make them easier to use than the straight style.
wish I had a pair when I did upholstery work.
Of all the things I've lost , I miss my mind the most

Imagining the annual competition...is it based on how big a hog you can ring and stay standing, or how many, or both, or ?

That's a neat tool.  I guess professionals don't need the screw that my pair have, limiting the closure of the pliers so you don't over-crimp the ring.
