To whom, Recently, I mentioned finding my favorite pliers in a piano a couple of years after losing them. For those who haven't yet discovered chain nose pliers, I thought I'd post a couple of photos. The big Channellocks are the ones I carry, though the small pair would do as well. Not that long ago, I finally figured out that a notch in the jaw shown in the closeup would make them a lot easier to use. Duh. Makes hitting the hole with the becket way easier. Duh.......... The best tool I ever found for applying brute force to small objects in close quarters. With this tool, a side cutter, and a small Vise-Grip for tying knots, I can do pretty much anything I need to do with music wire in the field. I've never found a use for round nose pliers (or never found a pair that was usable), and needle nose are too springy and insubstantial out on the end of the jaws where you need them strong. Chain nose is the cure, at least in my tool box. Just in case it might be useful to someone. Ron N -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
