Insulated Pliers

[Pete999]

Right, Got tin hat, body Armour, anti abuse cream and I don't give monkeys mood on, has anyone tried the Knipex all insulated pliers? I sold some gear on flea bay so I thought I would get some just to be as Tel puts it for posey jobs, they are actually very robust and I think they would be quite useful for checking cables in terminations etc, now some will say we shouldn't work live but for fault finding etc they might prove useful, no danger of shorting anything out.

I'm ready for the outbursts, so I'm not bothered, it;s just a thought they cost me £15 quid, and as you know I'm a bit of a new kit must have sort of a guy, probably never use them now I'm retired, but hey ho, and they look nice. So fire away chaps and chapesses.

I'm interested to hear what they are like, I looked at getting a set a while ago but never actually got around to ordering them.

Well I have got the ordinary pliers and they really are quite robust, no cutters obviously but plenty of grip.

they'll also come in useful for tightening the handle grips on your zimmer frame. :ack2:

Yep cheeky biggers, lets start a new forum "no pess taking of the coffin dodgers" treat with the respect they are due, perhaps we could get a T shirt made up for the over 60s " BEEN THERE DONE THAT GOT THE QUALS"

Cheers I was going to suggest another slogan for a T shirt, but got cold feet

 

[telectrix]

t shirt's no good for cold feet. socks are a wiser choice.
