*STANLEY 6IN SLIP JOINT PLIER
Application
Slip-joint pliers are multipurpose tools that can be used to grasp and bend hardware. They contain two levels of teeth; the fine teeth are positioned close to the front and are made to grasp small objects like nails, whilst the coarse teeth are located farther back and are made to grasp large nuts and bolts. The slip-joint pliers' advantage is that you may work with things of various sizes thanks to a pivot that allows you to change the size of its jaw. The pivot can easily transition between the two positions thanks to a slot in the neck.
Slip-joint pliers are in handy for a range of home repairs, including changing the drain basket in a sink, mending a kitchen faucet, working on cars, and installing hoses. They can be used to bend or straighten a little nail, cut a thin wire, or compress a light clamp. You can use them to hold a nut firmly while removing a screw with a screwdriver. Slip-joint pliers can also be used to grab objects like chisels or screwdriver handles. Even in their advertising, they are touted as essential pieces of medical gear for handling wires, pins, and rods.
