Review on Adjustable Material Klein Tools J502 10 by Henry Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everyone needs these pliers

These pliers seem to have been developed for plumbing work. I'm not a plumber. However, I keep a few in each of my cars and one in my tool box at home. You can loosen and tighten very large nuts and bolts (without going to the tool box) to easily remove that rusty hose from an outdoor drain. compressing the o-rings on washing machine water intakes, installing a new shower head, safely unthreading a cheap lightbulb that has come loose in the socket, fitting PVC threads, compressing the clamps on car hoses and tons more. If I had to make a list of 10 tools every household needs, these pliers would be on the list. Forget the pliers. The trick to designing good pumping pliers is to make them stiff enough so the rotating tab doesn't pop out of the groove you're using when you use a lot of force. This is one of the main differences between the tongs found in the "tool" sets with an unrecognizable reputation and the Klein Journeyman tongs. -born child if they move independently.
