[oldpliers1]

Thought so wonder if there is some new old stock sittin out their. you never know what you will find , yesterday I picked up a pair of 1st edition Sidchrome pliers as rare as hens teeth.
( Sidchrome is a great Australian tool maker , who are now part of Stanley and no longer making it here )

 

[oldpliers1]

these are from the carage, work truck, and the crypt.
pliers. i forgot the m/n's in the crypt. can't read some of them. note the mini pliers.

and, i forgot some present generation of longer shanked screwdrivers

Really like your stuff thank you for sharing .

 

[oldpliers1]

Great collection, I’m taken back that you did not get the insulated range that we did over here ?

 

[Ton ton]

I have not seen the insulated channel locks prior to your pics. Facom has insulated tools for sale locally.

If you want a pair I can send them to you be the envy of your friends. With the exchange rate they would be affordable.
Keeps eye for when I post the crescent Hi-VIZ 1000 volt range. Some of it forged in USA some here , ( we have exceptionally good steel) Australian made tools are all about quality combine that with a American quality Company , you get a good product .

[oldpliers1]

The reason Crescent manufactured here was the bottom fell out of the Aussie dollar. In 1972 1 Aud = $2.20 USD
in 87. Aud 0.63 cents to $1,USD . It was cheaper to make them here .

 

[Ton ton]

Old pliers, I'm good. But thanks for the offer anyhow. I prefer to play with hand tools before I buy.

 

[oldpliers1]

I get it it’s all about the feel of the tool and how it interacts with your hand cheers

Picked up a new 3 piece set at Menards for the tool box in the addition.

Nice. I like the set.

 

[oldpliers1]

Hi I found these hidden today they are 3048 Insulated
linesman pliers Australian purchased. I think they were a considered item for market evaluation,and not for general sale as the 3248 was the favoured item .

 

[CS454]

$14 CDN off of Amazon warehouse...marked as "acceptable". Into the road bag they go!

Shirt from eBay, pin and sticker were a bonus!

Very nice , I have found very few promotional items over the years ,and it’s a small win when you get something.
enjoy regards A

It's a sad day when Canadian Tire has a sale of Channellock's and I look at everything on the shelf and realize I have them all.

 

[Outlawmws]

The hunt is over...

 

[jeffmoss26]

Anyone have an extra pair of 436 diagonal cutters? Lost mine and it appears they were discontinued

Had the 9" Channellock oil filter pliers and of course ran into a situation where it was too damn short. Bought these 15" to hopefully not have any more issues. Also pictured is an SK oil filter socket I got.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Got 3 pairs of channellocks at a sale yesterday

I know this the CL thread, but is that orange screwdriver a Craftsman?

 

[jeffmoss26]

it sure is!

 

[Meursault74]

it sure is!

I've got a Phillips#3 Craftsman that has a red handle with the exact same shape. I think I'm spending too much time on here for noticing that and posting a pic

 

[jeffmoss26]

Buddy gave me this today, also got a couple pairs of pliers from the habitat restore that I am cleaning up

 

[Xcursion88]

Knipex gets my money. If there wasn't Knipex....channel lock all the way

 

[Ton ton]

I don't have any Knipex. I do have easy brick and mortar access to way more channel lock unfortunately. It's an illness that doesn't have an easy cure. I was able to talk to a channel lock factory employee which is interesting to my small mind. Channel lock pliers are pretty addictive. The screwdrivers are garbage though- even though they are USA made.

 

[oldpliers1]

I have some knipex tonton , I bought it , because it was certified, and cheap , bought it from Amazon and a Northern Ireland electrical supplier whose shipping rates were excellent ($11) to Australia. It worked less than half the local price . But the channellock Code Blue stuff and grips and wrench are great , ( never had a channellock screwdriver , never seen one over here ) regards A (ps my knipex stuff is impressive it has to be , it’s the show set ,long story)

You guys all safe ,and out of harms way , I am in the centre of a COVID breakout ,and in lockdown, I enjoy everyone’s posts . Regards A

 

[Ton ton]

We can still go to the hardware store and grocery store. Not locked down @ the moment.

 

[parris001]

I have a pair or 5 in every truck, and tool box. Channelocks, a Crescent wrench, a hammer and a can of Kroil = a tool set.

Kroil is amazing.

What happened to Channellock locking pliers?

I bought mine as part of a set with water pump pliers and an adjustable wrench. Just googled the locking pliers, and could not find much about them at all. Three images and one person selling them on US ebay. Just wondering if they were ever part of the proper Channellock range, or just sold with promo sets?

 

[Ton ton]

I have never seen channel lock brand locking pliers.

 

[Outlawmws]

I've never seen THAT model of lockers, for sure. but:
