I got them for around $23 on Amazon, and if you want the same ones, using the link in the description helps support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.<\/p>\n<p>The RoboGrip pliers are self-adjusting pliers you can use one handed. The design ingeniously hugs the thing you\u2019re grabbing so that pressure is better distributed all around.<\/p>\n<p>You can see it happen as the front of the jaws first make contact, and then the back pulls in to create a secure fit.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great, and it means that instead of reaching for these and fiddling with two hands to find the right setting &#8212; with one hand I can turn a bolt or nut or threaded washer, and feel fairly confident it will get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>These come in a bigger size too, better for plumbing and bigger fixtures. I like this size for most of what I do, and they\u2019ve basically replaced my old-style grooved adjustable pliers.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as a tip, when you want to store these, you can pinch right here when they\u2019re closed and it will lock up.<\/p>\n<p>So those are the RoboGrip self-adjusting pliers. You can pick them up using the link in the description where you\u2019ll also find the Cool Tools podcast with Windell Oskay talking about why he\u2019s a fan of them. And remember, you can see thousands of reader recommended tools like this at cool-tools.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaws adjust automatically<\/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\/31224"}],"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=31224"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31229,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31224\/revisions\/31229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
