Went to go help my cousin move a motorcycle out of a garage he's no longer renting, and we had to get the rear wheel back on it. The garage was already cleared of just about everything else so all we had was my road box for tools. We had to put the rear suspension back together and the bushings for the springs had to be pressed onto their sleeves. No press, and a drilling hammer just bounced off the bushing without effect. Enter: the Pliers-Wrench! Opened to its widest setting I was able to use it to press the bushing right on, incrementally closing the tool until the bushing was fully seated. Took maybe 20 seconds.

So you can use the Pliers-Wrench as a miniature bushing press, amongst various other things.

Used mine to shape some thin metal brackets today, with the smooth finish leaving no marks and getting everything straight.

I find so many uses for them beyond their spanner/wrench function.

Great tool, definitely fills a niche.

I use them all the time for TXV powerheads and non-ferrous pipe fittings that have flats cast into them.
