User questions & answers

Question:	I purchased this lock ring plier in june of 2018, and one of the tips broke today/normal use. does this tool have a warranty
Answer:	Stanley Proto supposedly offers a lifetime warranty on their hand tools. I bought a wrench a while back for a special job and the pin that held everything together snapped. I contacted Proto and sent them pictures. They wanted me to pay to ship it to them and then they would replace the pin. Not what I would consider professional in a warranty service. I shouldn’t have to pay to ship the broken tool to the manufacture for them to honor the warranty. So in other words, if you are willing to pay to have your broken pliers shipped to Stanley Proto, they may end up replacing them.
Question:	Can this be used to remove threads from a candelabra bulb that broke off in the socket
Answer:	I don't know why it would not work. I have used standard needle nose. Bend the metal base that was part of the bulb so you can get a grip on it. This might work well if you have limited room.
Question:	What is the width of the tip, while closed
Answer:	0.1365" measured with a digital caliper. Allow some 'wiggle room'.
Question:	How wide do these open? I need to know for sure, not about
Answer:	I need pliers that work on lock ring that has a forty five cut . Don't need pliers that work on snap rings with eyelet to remove

Product description

Some 95 years ago in Kansas City, Missouri, brothers Paul and Otto Froeschl thought of an idea for the ordinary straight-nose pliers; angle the nose 32 degrees to create greater leverage and gripping power.  Thus was born the original Wilde Wrench, the first pair of angle nose pliers granted U.S. Patent #1,800,447.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you end up with finger pinch if these slip
Answer:	I haven't had mine slip. So, don't know.
Question:	Are they stainless steel? Curious my ppl
Answer:	No, these pliers are forged from a custom blend of steel. They are finished with a rust-preventative coating of zinc.
Question:	are the black oxide more or less prone to rust compared to the zink finish
Answer:	The zinc is a rust-preventative coating that's fixed and layered on top of the steel. The black oxide converts the surface of the actual steel to the black color, which also helps prevent rusting. Salt tests for rust show that zinc is better at preventing rust than black oxide, but the margin is minimal. Wilde polished pliers are dipped in a dry-to-touch rust-preventative oil and marketed to the automotive market. The zinc is designed for use around water in the plumbing market. The black oxide tends to be more-desirable for industrial and service applications.
Question:	How far do the jaws open
Answer:	i CAN USE THEM ON 1/2 AND SOMETIMES 9/16 THE 9/16 IS A STRETCH

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you sell different sized tips separately
Answer:	As the description states they are "Black Alloy Steel", and will rust if exposed to extreme conditions. Normal operations(not marine environment) will normally outlast the equipment application. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will these work effectively on e clips without holes in em
Answer:	I tried on my greenworks electric but couldn't find the right size out of all of the choices. It would be hit or miss. Not sure what the wrist pin is but what I wanted it for was to hold the chain keeper? so the chain didn't slip off the slots.

User questions & answers

Question:	will these work on 1/4 in. external rings, i'm trying to change small bearings on a bandsaw
Answer:	i know i used mine on small lock rings. it depends on the holes in the particular rings i guess. if they will accept the ones provided with this particular set. i believe it would work but best to double check the specs on both ring and attachments. this is a handful to manage, this i know for sure.
Question:	Can these be used to put pinless peepers/beaky blinders on chickens
Answer:	No
Question:	Will this remove automotive wheel bearing snap rings? How durable? I am mechanic. Would use 3-5 times a month, dont do too much suspesion work

Question:	Are these reversible? Do they work to open and close
Answer:	Yes. They have 4 sets of tips, easy change!
