I’ll have to read this over the weekend, got tired after page 2.
What a list, thanks Fred!
Thanks - hope you find it interesting
While I’m at it I thought to add:
Hemostat-Type forceps while not exactly pliers – come in handy for many tasks – they come in a variety of sizes in both straight and curved patterns
Also in Double-X design – come both straight and curved
The style sometime called an ear polypus is also useful – come from 3.5 inch to about 12 inch
For those of us who are vertically challenged (aka short) or have a tough time bending – there are various grabbers available – that are sort of large pliers/tongs/tweezers
Tongs, while also not exactly pliers, can perform tasks like gripping and holding.
Log Tongs
Blacksmith/Farrier Tongs – only a few examples
Lab Tongs
