I'd just like to take a moment here to speak about the astronomical cost of rolling papers and it's effects on todays society. Because of this incredulous scalping of prices the Hemostat industry has been set on it's head and the once thriving manufacturers of these medical and head shop items have been reduced to selling on ebay and reportedly being used by mechanics, model builders and tubing manipulators. Shame on us for letting this happen. I call on Congress to look into ZigZag, EZ Wider, Bambu, JOB, Juicy Jay's, Joker, and Rizla's pricing schemes before it's too late.

Hemostats are too useful as an all around tool, to be used as a roach clip...an alligator clip is a much better roach clip, cheaper also. Or just use a pipe:silly: :side: :woohoo:

Me thinks I'm on a site with a bunch of ex or present heads;)
No wonder I feel like I fit in somedays.

I have an nice supply of them. It seems my employer pitches them depending on small bends in the teeth and nicks. The joys of working acquistions/ purchasing in a hospital setting.

not only have I joined an informative site for my bike
I think I've found many like minded people here now.
but yeah hemostats are great, they're easier and usually cheaper to find at headshop than a hardware store too.

I got my hemostat at our local bait and tackle shop. Really makes pulling barbed hooks an easy task.

Got a pair in each and every tacklebox


I have found that the true medical ones I have are built better than the ones I've found other places. But then again I don't want to pay $75-$200+ per hemostat either

Hemostats are a great idea. They're readily available on ebay and plenty of other sites.
I'm going to get a couple.
As there's a Bait & Tackle shop right in town, that'll be my first stop.
They come in varying lehgths and configurations.
For this job I'll buy a 12" hemostat with a 95 degree angled tip
I believe the best bet is to disconnect the cable entirely from the throttle. I'll then screw the other end of the cable cover into the lower nut (while holding the nut with the hemostsat). The upper nut should then be easy to manage - again, with the hemostat
I'll let you know
Thanks!!

Oh - I have come across another tool - an 11" long needle nose plier with a 95 degree angle at the tip.
