missing the (now rare) very useful Footprints.

no wonder and good riddance

the old ones with the handle that would pinch your flesh if it slipped off --most will have gone same way as my old dads ones hurled a great distance after nipping you helped on their way with much cursing 

don,t think HSE would allow them to be sold anymore 

I hate cheap "mole grips --i,m no superman ,but if i can bend the frame when locking them up on a job --no good

you buying moles --get moles grips  , Irwin   or vicegrips

From the left:

 

"Adjustable"

"Pliers:

"Long nose"

"Moles" (Mole grips being a particular brand of locking pliers like hoover means vacuum cleaner).

"5 'oles"

 

I have about 5 of each and can never find any of them.

 

They tend to be in buckets from a job done months ago.

 

Or in an unknown location :

 

”Oh. It looked like an XXXX so I put it with the XXXXs”. For example, tin snips and gardening secateurs.
