Show Me Your Pliers

[Parm]

following on from a recent thread I thought I'll start a show me your plies thread. Several weekends ago I had a bit of a tidy up and made this little rack to hold pliers, cutters and wire strippers that were just getting in the way.

Ive got a drawer full of assorted tin snips, another full of sissors and far too many other pliers and cutters all over the place.

I'll start by showing some of mine ......

Cant see any gas pliers, used to be compulsory for a welder to own a set,

They are, we'll sort of, cutters to the left, nose pliers and similar in the middle and normal pliers to the right....... Anyhow that's how it all started off

I've got quite a few different pliers, esp favourites the Bahco ERGO slip joint plier of which I have several - But, it's far too inconvenient to have them all in one place; they need to be spread around so as to be to hand whenever one needs

knipex are best ! as well as bahco ...

I thought a vice fetish was a bit...errm. But that there is rather worrying

I manage to scrape by with a smattering of cheapo Chinese thing, a pair of Elliot Lucas 8 inch and Wilkinson 9 inch combination pliers. Never heard of Wilkinsons but they're made in England and seem good quality

Edit: Seems they are! http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.co.nz/2014/05/gripping-tales-wilkinsons-tools.html

Well you did say show me your pliers, so whilst cleaning out the grinding dust from the tool boxes here they are, well most of them anyway.

very nice

Some of mine are mixed in among this lot somewhere, And strangely enough I can hardly remember what I had for breakfast but know where each one of these tools live,

Neat, but I haven't included all my tin snips and welding clamps. They are stored elsehwere
