Summary  
The document contains FBI investigative records from 1967–1968 related to an inquiry into the origin of duck-billed pliers used in bombings linked to Eric Rudolph, a domestic terrorist. The investigation focused on tracing these tools to potential sources such as Romage Hardware and Rampage Hardware stores. Employees at these locations were interviewed, but none could confirm sales or sightings of the specific pliers. The pliers were later identified as evidence in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing case, which Rudolph was convicted for in 2003. The documents highlight challenges in forensic tracing and typographical errors in store names (e.g., "Romage" vs. "Rampage"). While the records predate Rudolph’s crimes, they reflect an FBI effort to connect tools to suspects in domestic terrorism cases.
