Sitting here idly playing with some hemostats on my desk... I started to wonder... Just how do they make those damn things anyway?
It doesn't appear that the "inner" leg could have fit through the slot in the outer leg and yet there don't seem to be any welds either.
Not to mention somehow installing the blind hinge which there is no evidence of on the outside.
So... anyone know the secret trick to making hemostats?
Have 'm made in Pakistan! There's all kinds of stuff you can't see in surgical instruments on account of the chrome hiding it.
On these, there is a hinge pin pressed through, just polished. Turn them sideways and they will assemble with a little stretch. And spring back.
Use a BIG hammer.

C'mon, people. You call them hemostats, but anyone who survived the Sixties know what we are REALLY talking about here.
"I was just sittin at my desk and playing with my hemostat ..........." (And contemplating the lint in yer navel, and picking out with the hemostat..........)
Yeah, for like three hours.............
You can't fool us. We know.

Open up the hole and insert. Then forge them back together again.

They make them the same way that they make Spencer-Wells forceps ;-)

Anybody who says they remember the 60's wasn't *REALLY* there ...
(I am an engineer, so I spent my 60's as a geek -- only figured out years later what was going on. Oh well)
