I think they are the muts nuts they would be one of the best tools you could buy had mine ten years bit worn now but I wouldn't go to s job without them

I use the Facom 181.25cpe multi grip pliers with the push button jaw changer. Wouldn't swap it for anything. Ergonomic grip and well designed jaws can grip just about anything. Well worth the money.

Yep, those are the ones

These come in many sizes and without doubt they are the best. I have a very small pair, say 5 inches which is ideal for tap cons, even on a bath. I think mine came from Farnell.

luv me rotty boggers, they work where all else has failed. looked at tool station and saw the old bearhuggers at £49, picked up a set for £29 inc p&p off ebay, they are a knuckle saver as well🙂
