That box has grown to a size where it is no longer mobile, like one of those canal boats that is always moored by Callis with fairy lights. You should consider (Sun. and Mon.) nightly rentals or selling espresso off of the bench, next to the toolbox. Sowerby Bridge is ready for this.
These are 180’s the most useful size for most bike stuff, I’ll warn you now though, as soon as I got my hands on these I started planning to get the rest of the sizes!
Should have mentioned above as well, the smaller Engineer pliers will also get seized pad retaining pins out of shimano calipers without resorting to power tools!
There’s more than one on RS or Amazon with prices ranging from 8 quid to over £60!
It’ll be these. Plier-wrench. Price difference for the same size will be due to different grips on the handles, some of which are for high voltage protection. Not sure where you see any 8 quid ones though!
@doomanic as @b33k34 said it’s usually the soft jaws that sell for about 8 quid but that looks like they’ve listed the pliers for the wrong price there! Gotta be worth a punt for less than a tenner!
@doomanic
Just woke up to an email from RS, delivery date has been changed from the 24th to the 21st!
Still won’t let me track my order but it sounds like they’re still coming!
