Testing Pliers

Finally I beat @Jolly on a tool thread, LOL.

Saw that one the other day, but I didn't watch. I do subscribe to PF.

Two observations...

1. We call those "dykes".
2. My best friend could take a pair of eight inch dykes or a pair of nine inch Kleins in his right hand, grip and break the handles and then hand them back to you.

Ok, went through the video...Klein is what a working electrician buying his own tools would use. OTOH, I know an electrical contractor who buys the Doyle brand (Harbor Freight) pliers and dykes for his trucks...They work and he doesn't cry as much when the guys lose them.

Not that I'm in the market to buy a pair of pliers, but I appreciate videos like this.
