[RE-wrenches] Outback PSR-SCT

Mon Dec 15 09:32:50 PST 2008

Todd,
  Just wondering, is there a problem with the US Plastics products? As I
said previously, we've used them for more than 15 years with no
problems. Typically we use the more expensive, acid rated ones but they
make many that will do the job.
