BMack37 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I like oil for pliers, SL for ratchets. Then just exercise the hell out of them. Maybe soaking the joint in oil, idk really. I normally just live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klein Tools and Irwin work not worse, but at a price much more attractive. And in this review - https://toolslaboratory.com/best-linemans-pliers-buyers-guide/, KNIPEX skipped forward even unusual, but little-known Vampliers.

Forget the Vampliers, get the Engineer version. Engineer is the OEM so they're cheaper, also they make more styles including locking pliers. Japan has some great pliers manufacturers.

That's one of them, they also add slip joint and the locking pliers: Engineer pliers on amazon Look at the grips of your Vampliers, "Engineer" is molded into the handle. The only Engineer pliers I can't recommend are the E-clip pliers, they're too thick to get under a lot of E-clips. *Edit: I just looked and it seems Vampliers is now carrying most of the screw gripping designs. Last I looked they only had the three main versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pusher Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I recently bought a Knipex 2611200 model.It's quite normal product, I'm happy to have bought, get the right thing with an electric or gasoline tool. For example, remove the locking rings in the chainsaw, or the drill shaft, it's a pretty needed thing. https://solderingironguide.com/reviews/best-needle-nose-pliers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
