A simple L shaped bar made of 1"X1" steel.

It would be tough, but I would either pick the heel and toe or the double L bar. But I could guarantee that whichever one I ended up with, it would end up highly modified with the help of my 90 degree die grinder. ;-)

The one on Tom's post, on top is really versatile! WS lets me borrow his occasionally and I find it just the ticket, MANY times!

For all around use, I find this style hard to beat:

I have a larger one and a smaller one in that style. The larger one is my preffered, due to it's mass.

I could have sworn i posted to this thread about 6:30 this morning. I must have previewed it and closed the window.

Anyway, The bar circled with red is the one I use the most. If I could only have one though it would be the one in the front as it is thinner and can get in places the others can't. They are tungsten. While more expensive, and not needed, I think they are worth it.

I should probably sell the one on the right as I never use it. If anyone is interested let me know.

NICE!

Antony, is it the one from Webster?

We are gonna need one when we do those tanks in one week!

I won't buck another rivet with any other bar!
