That's a good post Grouse!
I do a similar procedure (blade on the side, attach swivel at same time),
although I have scratched a few blades doing this. I don't know how
many I've launched through the room to never be found again!! I think
they are all together where I launch bail springs, small screws and keeper
washers!!!

I'm gonna try those Xuron pliers anyway!! I've already spent 10 million
dollars on my hobbies, ha, ha what's another ten bucks?
