I bought a new 4lb Del Monte Citrus Salad that the wife likes. The 4-1/2" diameter plastic lid would not loosen for anything. I go out to the shop and grab the 460's and the lid surrendered easy. Those pliers are one of my favorite tools. :great:

Heh. When I was 16, I severed the tendon to my right thumb, and even though they sewed it right back up, I have never had great strength with that hand. Which, as I am right handed, kinda sucks. So early on I learned to use mechanical advantage in things like this. Freaks my wife out though, she thinks its going to be all dirty.

hmm. When I was about 10 I had a similar injury to my left thumb. I have good strength but I cant open it all the way. It is habit and I dont even realize it but when I grab larger things I push my thumb open. Most people dont know it and I rarely notice myself. The only time it bothers me is when I have to do some intricate work. It will start to ache.

thought the 460's were big ones and looked it up, 16 1/2 inches.
Certainly a tool every box should have. They were the first big pair of pliers I owned and they truly were a favorite. I always said, once you latch onto something with those, it stays latched onto :))
Have a pair at shop, truck and home shop.
Actually, they would make a great gift to most any young person who at least uses some tools around the house and certainly to one who uses tools more often.

I keep a 460 in the go box and one in the shop. I gave a pair in the Secret Santa a couple of years ago. Yes, everybody should have one of these most useful tools.

I have two pairs down here!

Had a pair for years. Used to have 2 pair, one at work, one in my home box. One day I forgot to lock my box at lunch, had a new guy we were getting suspicious of, late in the afternoon, they werent in the drawer. Every tool had a specific spot in a specific drawer. Hope he liked them as much as I did. He was fired for general reasons soon after.
