Just got delivered was a NIB Harris Dracon 5 pair punchdown. Blade was seized up a bit (can't imagine how long it's been). Took some creep oil and some force, but did manage to get the blade free to flip it to the cutting side.

Can't complain. MADE in the USA and got it for a helluva deal.

LOL....how much muscle does it take to terminate 5 pairs?

That reminds me of a cartoon from a Car And Driver magazine. Back in 1960, Hurst shifters were selling like hot cakes for all the muscle car guys. The cartoon was two guys looking at a muscle car on a drag strip. The next panel showed a big guy getting out of the car. His left arm was atrophied and looked gimpy. His right arm was huge and bulging with muscles. The one guy turns to the other and asks "Who's that?" The other guy says "That's George Hurst."

What's creep oil? Is it like a WD40 or Jig-A-Loo?
