I had them as a kid too. Tough little things. True story: I used one to tow a pull string through about 50-60 yards of buried 4" PVC conduit between the basement of our house and the new barn/shop we built.

...well, maybe not. Teh Googlies couldn't find me a picture worth posting (or, ummm, one that wouldn't get me banninated for posting it) that I was willing to believe was actually a redhead. So now for something completely different:
