National Telephone Supply of Cleveland

This tool, seen at a local antique market reminded me of the HK Porter Bolt Cutter I picked up a few years ago. A good solid two-hand high leverage cast-steel tool but it's actually a tool for crimping electrical compression fittings. A far cry from the cheapo department store kit that comes with a selection of terminal ends- and never really makes a good lasting connection.
 Good to see the company is still around doing quality compression tools and electrical connection equipment, now under the name Nicopress.
