Speaking of tin snips, does anyone have suggestions for tightening up old
snips that are tool loose in the jaws?

OK Jim, here's a small gloat:

I was riding my bicycle to the commuter train station last Friday when I
spotted a tool lying on the road.  I pulled over, waited for the traffic to
clear and picked up a pair of tin snips.

Free tools.  I love free tools.  Even if it is my 6th pair of tin snips.

Not for me.  When I can buy unopened boxes of screws at garage sales for 25
cents a box I feel like the Good Times are right now.
But that was last week's gloat ;^)
