Utica Tools Pliers

[Don Z]

Picked up a large lot of vintage Utica Tools pliers at a local antique show this week. I was wondering if anyone would happen to know
where I could purchase the small compression springs as many of the pliers are missing them. Thanks for your help. Don Z

My local Ace hardware has a stack of drawers full of springs, various sizes and shapes. Take a spring in, grab a couple of near matches.

Doubt you will find a Utica stash somewhere.

I tried at Home "Dump-O" and Lowes with no success. I'll try Ace ,,, thanks

HD has theirs all in bags, my Ace has them loose in drawers, much easier to test sizes. A booklet is usually sitting there you can hold them up to the full sized pix.

Possibly old standby M/C if you can't find anything local: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/springs/

Maybe try Klein P/N 571A. It seems pretty universal to more than just Klein pliers.

I have used the spring out of a Bic lighter before, just cut to length
