  I have a pair that were my dad&apos;s. &nbsp;As I am approaching 70 these are probably closer to 100 years old. I use them often and they are some of my most treasured tools. May yours have the same legacy.

  Looks amazing Neil! Love your modesty “I don’t really know what I’m doing with the milling machine” (then fabricates exquisite, world-class hand tools)!

  I like that you&apos;re not just talking the whole entire video for no reason, you&apos;re giving us juuust enough information to keep us up to speed while still letting us pay attention to the video, some youtubers just can&apos;t help but flap their lips without pause.

  What a fantastic job you did on these! Looks great! I have my grandfathers old school Sargent &amp; Co pointed tip pliers. Made in the USA in New Haven Connecticut. He kept them in the kitchen junk drawer at their house and my entire life growing up, in to adulthood whenever over there and tinkering which was often those pliers were constantly in use, his go to pair. 🤩👍

  A tip for etching with saltwater - do not use the original cotton buds with your crocodile clips, you are needlessly exposing the clip to the etching solution and it is very ineffective . Use a piece of graphite rod (pencil core works too) with cotton bud on one end and the crocodile clip on the other. That way he clip stays dry and it conducts current much better.

  Used many of them as a goldsmith for a number of years. They’re most useful for holding tiny round surfaces without marring them. Holds them flat relative to the item without being frustrated by trying to get the item grabbed just right. Using two at the same time to orient rings is far superior to using my needle-nose pliers. Tiny rings for chains or claps. Earrings. Basically they’re for jewelry but that extends into anything similar.

  Moments like this make me wish I&apos;d become a machinist a while back.

  I first saw this kind of pliers when I was a kid. &nbsp;My dad saved a set from the home of a deceased relative. &nbsp;They were &quot;Bernard&quot; pliers. &nbsp;The name was stamped right on them. &nbsp;A special feature of them was that a wire cutter was included on the top.

  Beautiful work as always Neil. &nbsp;I think Tool videos are my favourite, followed by Scrap Wood Challenge.

  My grandpa taught me how to use tools and this kind of pliers is all he had. I never really understood how practical they are until I had to buy my own pliers and got a scissor type. Those things have so limited use! Thank you for this video. I imagine my grandpa sitting next to me watching it together, with his witty comments. I sure miss him.
