How to Use Plyers

Some nice other tools that we have to put in our tool pouch is pliers. Pliers come in a variety of different sizes and shapes. These here are regular standard size pliers, these are pliers that are approximately eight inches long and they change to two different sizes, some things are just a little bit bigger than others. The variety of uses are pulling nails with these we wind up pulling out staples or when we redo floors we pull out the old nails that we cannot get with our hammers. Another style of pliers are the same style, only longer for better leverage. These too adjust in two different sizes. This clips on the other side they adjust back and forth. You can use these for many different things. We use them for cracking nuts on the jobsite while we're sitting around doing nothing and the other items, variety of uses that you can use them for. Second set of pliers that we have here are called adjustable pliers. These adjustable pliers that's what they do, they adjust up to an inch and a quarter and down to an eighth of an inch in sizes. These here are used to get better leverage on a nut or a bolt or pulling nails as we are going through this process here.
