Pliers with extra slip joints?

[seagull369]

Just wondering if there are pliers available that have >2 pivot points on them. Something like a channel lock, but not angled like those are, .

This thread makes my knuckles hurt.

Thanks for the link. I'm surprised that design isn't more ubiquitous across brands. Looks like snap-on's the only one who makes em.

perhaps it will be around 2029-07-30 when the patent expires

I have the Snap On ones and that 3rd adjustment comes in handy. Buy one....you won't be disappointed.

Stanley makes a pair with three positions as well.

“Makes them.” LOL. I’m not paying 53 dollars for a pair of Wilde or channellock pliers with red handles and a different roll mark.

Snap on actually makes most of their pliers themselves going backto when they bought the Vacuum Grip plier company back in the 40's The few channellock pliers they source are labled Blue Point, the 20" "channellock" for example.

Slip joint pliers with more joints are actually renamed as tongue and groove pliers. Slip joint pliers are of an inferior design. That's why there's a limited variety and they're generally cheaper.

I have never liked slip jaw pliers until I got the snappys, love them and they are in use daily, buy them, you will not regret it.

Wilde Tools makes them.

I'm pretty sure these are the type of pliers the OP is looking for. I'd be lost with out good old simple slip joint pliers. The third position as simple as it sounds is a real upgrade. I have a pair in ever plier drawer between my different boxes.

Inferior is the wrong term. Misused maybe. For gripping and pulling they are superior to angled tongue and groove. I use mine all the time for that purpose.

This.

How you use slip joint pliers will change after using these. They flat out work and grip.

Edit; They can also open bottles with a little practice too, even the Mex. sprite ones.

If only you knew.....

Maybe you should compare them sometime and you'd learn not to say stupid things on the internet.

Thanks for posting links for the Stanley and Wilde. Nice to know there's some other options.

 

[bonneyman]

How about one of the old wrenching pliers by Proto? I have one and it has incredible grip.

There are very few instances where I've preferred to use slip joint pliers over a pair of Cobras.

I have a pair of Wilde slip joints in my toolbox drawer that are a nice set of pliers, but I just rarely have an instance where I think I'll need to use them.

Eiffel Plierench.
I don’t think they’re still made, but you can usually find them on Ebay.
There’s an early version, and a later version with a eider variety of jaw types.

We call those “politician pliers”. Three positions on anything!
