I want to get a pair of those ceramic flat pliers I've seen them before and really wanted them then too lolThis is just my build kit I keep in my backpack for work and everytime I'm out and won't be home for a while, yes the MVP 3 pro is part of it, half ohm reader half dryburn tool. Just a mix of some harbor freight tools, and other junk. The plies I've never broke, and I've used them on some pretty huge wires.
Damn my snippers aren't even close to dull and ive been using them for almost a year and I make a decent amount of builds I'd say around 10 a weak and I use 20g and 22g a decent amount or various sized fused Claptons.
Those are actually just nylon tipped pliers so I don't mess up my builds straightening wire or pulling it through the posts
I mean maybe I got lucky and got decent ones without realizing it i don't even remember where I got them probably amazon. Here's a link to them from home Depot. And they only cost $5 they will ship to your local home depot for free as well or you can pay to have them shipped to your house. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Hakko-CHP-...thKPCdcWrK3SLlg0j7JxQaAqJH8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds My dad has the same ones and his are still good as well. Only thing I can think of is maybe the ones you are getting are made out of shitty soft steel check and see where they were made it should say on them if it's China or Taiwan or Pakistan that could explain it they all have shitty steel. These are made in Italy I'm not sure how Italian steel is but like I said I've been using these for about a year and there not even close to dull. Good steel that I know are american, German, and Japanese they have the best steel. Sometimes China will make their steel to u.s specifications but it's rare and usually only with more expensive products (some buck knives are now made in China but buck makes them stick to u.s.a steel specifications). Anyway hope this helps!
Yea nylon is fine too lol I want them from straightening my fused Claptons
They're absolutely necessary when working with 40g and up or any kind of staple build, theyve turned out to be one of my more useful purchases in a while
Yea I use these shitty flat metal pliers for my 2x26gN80/40gK fused Claptons they kind of work but could definitely be better I'm getting pretty good where my wires don't twist to badly that often but would be nice to have them for when they do
That's all I had for a while but I was marring an breaking my Clapton wraps which ruins any chance of taking pictures.
Yea that's my problem too a lot of the time if say I make like 2 feet I'll lose like 6 inches due to twisting. the last few times though I've been getting lucky and they really didn't need to be straightend just had to cut off the first 2 inches
I'll usually cut off the end near my swivels and slowly spin the drill in reverse, usually it takes away enough twist that I can wrap through it.
Yea I do that to sometimes it works well but sometimes I get thesee nasty twists that are hard to get out that's where nose nylon pliers would come in handy
