Walko Portable Bench

[monte]

Justin I don't know how much use you would have for it in your case but here it goes, on popular request:

Note the angle which makes it easy to gently pry out staples and nails. There are two indents for nailheads and they are sharp so it is also used for cutting sealing/silicone strips as well.
It opens up wide yet it is very pocketable and is 165mm long, some six and a half inches.

Thanks for the pics Henrik.
Just looking at the photos I would have thought this tool would be at home in an electrician's bag. As in, maybe the notches are for wire stripping? Or possibly fisherman's pliers. In any case I can see how they would be good for grabbing small nails and such.
Do they actually market them as window repair pliers?

Michael & Dave,

It appears that the window pliers (like Hendrick's) you're looking for seem to be
available on the Garet Wade site as Diagonal Metal Cutting Pliers.

(although the inside "cup" is not shown the outside looks like a dead ringer)

Hey guys -  that is some amazing digging you've done there!

I was looking all over for those pliers... ...it is a dead ringer for sure. It even looks better made.

      Hey the pliers are great and all but I'm really ready to see some more photo's of you using the Walko!  This thread is titled "Walko Portable Bench", so get on with showing me some more of that fantastic looking workbench in real use.  I've been drooling over that thing for so long now, and will go ahead and kick in $5 to see how it's helping in your daily work Henrick.  More Pics and Impressions please (and Per that's not an invite for you to do your Ronnie Van Zant Impression). 

Chris...

Chris; yes  - the thread got sidetracked but there is a new thread on the Walkobench that I started. I have been crazy busy with moving in and out into a new apartment the last few days and I just got some stuff delivered today that needs to be laid out on the Walko Bench and cut down to size - will try and see to it as soon as! I am throwing out the old kitchen and installing a new one which will be a mix of IKEA (hey, I do live in Sweden) and custom kitchen.
