GEC 86HJ

Post by glennbad »

The owner of this one wanted the awl removed, and a recover done. Replaced the existing covers with some crosscut westinghouse, and prop shield.

The owner has had issues with nail-breaking punches and blades in the past. This one was no exception, so he asked to make it a single blade version. I guess it's no longer an HJ, LOL
