Coverley - Production Engineer}2/BE. 6.5.27 With reference to the pliers that were handed to us for trying out. These are quite alright for light work but for general usage on chassis they would be unsatisfactory. The worst feature is insufficient grip, and the head of pliers and rivet are not robust enough for the uses they may be subjected to on our chassis. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} | ||
