Bars and pliers

I just got my large stretcher bars and new pliers from Brooks in Maine. I'll write up a review in a few days after I've tried them. Anyone else use these?

They work very nicely, fit tight adjust easily and the pliers are great. I'd leave 4" around your image when cutting the linen/canvas if you have their pliers (which are very strong and comfortable) I cross measured after assembly and the thing was perfectly true. These are the widest, strongest bars I've found.

Every time I see pictures of your studio I am just woozy with desire.

Nice bars.
