If you want the same ones, using the Amazon link in the description helps support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.<\/p>\n<p>These are handy pair of pliers that can be generally used as needlenose pliers. They\u2019re 4-inches long, with 1.5-inch jaws, and with a wirecutter tucked in the back.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike regular pliers where you have to keep constant tension with your hand to grip whatever you\u2019re using it on, the vise-grip style pliers can lock on and stay put.<\/p>\n<p>It takes some fiddling with the adjustment screw to get the jaws the right size for the thing you\u2019re working with &#8212; not too loose and not too tight. But when you get it right, the pliers almost act as a semi-permanent extension of whatever they\u2019re gripping.<\/p>\n<p>And if you really want a super tight squeeze, you can use the hex socket in the adjustment screw to really lock things in.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve found these to be really useful for clamping metal together. They\u2019re great as clamps for gluing up small things. They can also a handy little third hand for tinning up wire or holding small things. If you\u2019re worried about them being conductive you can wrap the jaws in gaffer tape or heat shrink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clamp metal together<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41,2337],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31135"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31135"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31137,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31135\/revisions\/31137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
