Help with slip joint plier nut please

[Zeeman]

I've searched the internet, but can not find a source for the nut and washer for slip joint pliers. I'm working on an older SK 7510 at the moment, but will need the same parts for other brands also. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Have you contacted SK? They may be able to supply them...

Indeed they might. I have had very good experiences when dealing with SK customer service so even if they can't get the parts they will probably be willing to point you in the right direction.

An SK 7510 is a tongue-and-groove plier, not a slip-joint. Slip joint pliers have a bolt and nut that literally slips back and forth to allow two different jaw positions. The most common vintage slip joints use a nut like the one of this pair of Diamond K36 pliers (see attached)

Yep. My bad. Anyone know a source for tongue and groove nut and washer? Thanks.

Mine is like that, but the nut only has two sides, and the washer is more of a shim thickness if that makes any sense.

It's a nut. Find the thread size and buy a nut. If you're picky, get a stainless but and shape/polish it to your satisfaction, then add a wave washer and stake it once it's tightened enough, or red loctite.
