Shabby J!

What's up my friend. Have not communicated with you in a while. I think I'll try the pliers to even them up next time.

I also have a piece of 4"x4" ceramic shower tile (bought at Home Depot for $0.50), I then put the base on the tile, hold it up to a light, you can then see which prongs may be longer or shorter than the others, stop clipping and use pliers to gently pull them out to equal lengths.


This is the method I use when the need to clip prongs arises.
