squonk 41,067 #1 Posted June 4 Not something you see every day in your average tool box. ( Hint), I didn't start using these until I went to work at the Hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,050 #2 Posted June 4 I know what they are but I won't spill the beans. Never saw the need for them myself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,046 #4 Posted June 4 I believe those are for securing crazy people. Which would make sense why you never used them before starting at the hospital. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,998 #12 Posted June 5 There was a clue in the picture that made it easy to chase down. A pair of those pliers might be nice once I get deeper into my construction project in Ky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimSraj 429 #14 Posted June 5 Are they used to install or remove conduit fittings? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,067 #16 Posted June 5 They come in real handy when trying to remove old fan coils out of walls. Usually there is a handy box stuffed behind a pipe or wall stud with no room for the old hammer and screwdriver routine. I can get these pliers in at an angle and get the conduit nut moving. Haven't had to get involved in any renovations in a few years now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,434 #17 Posted June 5 I had never seen one of these until my neighbor died and I cleaned out his tools. He was an electrician. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,994 #18 Posted June 5 The only time you need them is when someone else used them to crank down the nut. LOL But I can definitely see how they are very handy for the person dealing with those nuts everyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
