We=92ve been looking hard at

tubing that has basically seized or =93become one with=94 the glass
connections on condensers, cold fingers, etc. I=92m sure you=92ve
seen this before and most people reach for their pocket knife or a razor
blade. It generally ends badly. Either the blade slips or
the glass breaks and in either situation we end up with stitches.
Anyone found a tool that works better under these
conditions?
