Just wondering... but is there a reason NONE of the pliers in your extensive collection have comfort grips? ~

 

[nine4gmc]

[xbeatles4x]

Damn you guys make me realize that I need to get a good set of needle nose and normal pliers. What do you guys recommend? Is craftsman pro still good these days?

 

[xbeatles4x]

Well this is the show off thread. This is what I have. I am just starting out with a decent set of tools.

 

[rshadd]

Here's my pliers drawer....

 

[Hootbro]

I need to get mine organized a little better.

 

[Mastermind]

pliersracks are awesome. cut them with a cutoff wheel or boltcutters to fit the smaller drawers.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Pics are forthcoming!

 

[Mastermind]

i gotta get my box back in the shop so i can get current pics. yeah, my tools are still sitting in the boss's enclosed trailer rusting. my poor HF cart is crying with the overload of "necessities", wich includes the green snap on set and new vise grip groovelocks

 

[donmillerx]

Thanks guys!

^This.

I've got a few soft grips in my portable box and other drawers but all of these were actually picked up used, at different garage sales and I just like seeing all those vintage steel legs swimming together! Haha!

 

[robe5000]

This is my plier drawer, few other items in there too

 

[AE2]

Here are most of mine. Mostly Channellock, Visegrip, Craftsman, and Proto.

 

[metaldad]

I didn't go into the garage and get those on pic, neither the ones in the trucks.
These are only the ones in the house

Do a search for plyworx. I nabbed them when they were on Amazon for $10 each. You can make your own using wire shelving for closets, there's threads on here somewhere.

 

[archirelic]

Snap-On has the best pricing on the plyworx rack that you'll find...at least in my searching for them.

[McFarmer]

I posted this photo on the "German hand tools" thread. These are the best pliers I have ever handled, they will get a lot of use on the farm :

 

[decaf]

Only German ones here....best of the best...

 

[rshadd]

Wow that's a nice set!

 

[billp603]

I never really noticed the rainbow of diversity in my pliers until snapping this picture. A mix of Channellock, Craftsman, Blackhawk, Williams, Stanley, Klein, Fuller, Xcelite and Stahlwille. Add Amp & Ideal if you include the wire strippers.

you must not have you seen the ratchet and screwdrivers threads?

I did, some people are crazy. Quality, not quantity.

I hate you only because I'm jealous. Great collection and great taste!

 

[Fyrme]

There are some impressive collections in this thread. I have to ask though, as I am a minimalist, why have soooo many different pliers, or screw drivers for that matter. I'm 37 and have had so many different pliers over the years but I have always found that you really only need a select few styles of each type. I do every thing from wood working, to welding, to mechanic, to electrical and still don't have half of what most have shown in this thread. And With all of my tools, I have four large cabinets. I couldn't imagine having more than I need. I'd run out of room for projects to use my tools on.
Is it a collectable thing or something else?? By no means should anyone take offense please, I'm just wondering

 

[Brownsfan]

How about both. You can NEVER have enoigh pliers

+1
What I dont understand is why one would need 5 of exact same items. Dont take me wrong I love having double of everything just in case, but 5? Really?
