Anybody have one they can spare? TIA... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For those who are interested, ATD is the mark of "Artisan Tool & Die," a (former?) metal fabricator in the Cleveland Ohio area.* By some odd coincidence I no longer remember, sometime in the 1982-84 era, when we lived in the area, I connected with the proprietor and visited the plant. He was attempting to diversify his product, and brought out some bicycle goods. At one time or another, I had an ATD peanut butter wrench, a Park-clone truing stand, and a set of ATD rollers. The rollers in particular showed some real understanding of how to form sheet metal in ways that maximized strength with minimum material and fabrication, and were pretty decent. Ah, the memories!
