They're just big crocodile clips!

Just passed my regs exam. Good excuse as any to treat myself to some shiney new tools

Well done Dood

NO they aren't very useful if (and I know you shouldn't but we do don't we?) you had to tighten up any connections in a DB even with it switched off, so to brush them off as crocodile clips is a bit churlish imo.

Missed that, where do you think they look like crocodile clips ?
They're quite a useful bit of kit.

I don't think they look like crocodile clips, it was someone else, I happen to disagree with him.

Due to where I live (nothing local), Amazon is a firm favourite.

Fully plastic pliers? Look like my first pliers
Can see the long nose pliers being useful but when I ALWAYS isolate I use long nose pliers alot.
Personally not persuaded to buy a set though, sorry

If you're lucky enough to always be able to isolate a complete DB to work on it or never have to go in to an older DB with a lower degree of protection then thats good for you.

Meanwhile in the real world those fully insulated pliers are a very useful tool.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well through text mate.
Vde long noses and a squeeky bum go a long way

Update:

Bought myself a fatmax open mouth bag and it's massive. Like double the size of my old one. Makes it look like ive hardly any tools!

A new est wing hammer since my brother has my other. New pad saw since my other is about to break. Nice set of channel lock grips. New scutch and a new pry bar since my old one got bent straight so doesn't do much

I do love new toys.

If you know what you want then eBay is your friend!

I don't. All my tool related purchases tend to be impulse buys. Only went to toolststion today for a bag and a new pair of pliers... Got a hammer, level, saw, cable strippers...


Oh and my bag and pliers


Looks like I'll have to buy more tools to fill the bag.
