   *Mike, you're right. I think this is what Bobski was talking about though. He was a bit unclear.Allyson, Bobski has a wiring problem.http://webx.taunton.com/WebX?128@@.ef0319bI've seen cheaper slating tools than Amazon, but can't remember where. I bought one from Brookstone about 20 years ago. Now all they sell is yuppy toys.

   *thanks for all the help! over in the other discussion room i had a wiring question. it appears our friend killed two birds with one stone. thanks! ok, clarification...i was told the nomenclature for the tool i needed was called a slaters tool. some now tell me its a slaters bar. i need to remove the broken slate tiles so i can slip in a new one. the one i need looks like a flat bar that has 2 hooks on either tip for cutting or pulling the nails out under the good slate. does this help any? regards to all that are helping.

   *I have a couple in my shed , come on over you can have one. PA. If this is a few pieces of slate and a one time thing , you could get this done with a steady hand and a saw zaw or just a normal flat bar, its easy. Good Luck.
