History: Par Aide Superintendent Tool

Par Aide Products Company provides a wide range of products for the golfing industry. In 2003 they added the Superintendent Tool to their line. It has a number of unique features intended expressly for golf course work.

Jaws

Ordinary needlenose profile, with wire cutter area.

Handles/Frame

Handles are standard C-channel, but have an unusual seperate piece for the blade backsprings. Even more strange are the "flappers" that fold over the blades. What purpose they serve is not clear, as they are on the wrong side to provide hand comfort when squeezing the pliers. (as on the SOG PowerLock)

The word PAR AIDE PRODUCTS COMPANY and CHINA and P/N 1033 is stamped into both flappers. Finish is brushed stainless steel.
