I disagree with that last bit. I've done it myself with my 440 Channelocks. Not feet off the ground but them locked on so tight I let go and was pushing open palmed to break fittings loose.

Got any cool tools lately?

These are Nielsen Transfer Screws, they are the same principle as a transfer punch except they can be threaded into a piece so you can put metal or wood against it to mark a bolt pattern. This 3 size set was about $36 shipped.
I’ll be using these on an inboard shock crossmember bracket to transfer the bolt pattern to the inside of my frame.

threaded base to hold to a tool, i get... why is the center punch recessed??
I'm super excited about this. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0972VYQGM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Didn't realize you could get them so cheap, otherwise, i'd have ordered one 10 years ago.
I run into too many specialty fittings that i want to replace that it's hard to determine size. Since most of that stuff gets ordered online now, it will be invaluable in size verification.

OSHA called. they said please don't do that.
I have not had a pair of knipex adjustable pliers in 25years -used to like em - now I have a dozen pair of channel lock 430... just about perfect for anything i wouldn't go get the correct wrench for... what makes the alligators better? they cut sharper teeth into the jaws?
when OSH went out of business here, i tried to buy some of their fixtures. they wanted 100 bucks each for those things hanging in the hardware isle... no thanks.
have you received the chinamazon model? worth my hard earned 20 western infidel dollars?
Something about the shape and size of the jaws. I can get more grip, get them into tighter places, etc. and yes, sharper teeth in my experience.
Even out at the tip where there isn't the sharp teeth, the seem to get more force there for little chit.

For basic thread size checking, i think it will be fine for home use. They sell wall mounted store style ones, but they were a lot more expensive.
I only tested one or 2 sizes, but seems to be free enough of mfg defects that it will work.
After nearly a week, I've decided these Knipex Cobras are not "it".
Using them today to do some PM work around the boilers and it took me longer to get the jaws set right than the actual work I was doing with them.
Might give the Alligators a try next but do far it's Channelock in the lead.

The tool should leave an imprint of the hole itself plus the exact center.
For the threaded “base” the example of use on YT was to be able to thread them into the front of a head and then put a piece of metal against it to imprint for making a bracket.
Fyi Snap on bought Channel lock 10+ years ago.
I have them all, for pipe work blue point CHN410, great for broken bolts and stripped nuts too.
Knipex cause German they grap and the teeth don't wear. Their cutters are go to for me.
Snap on has a slip joint pliers that are simply bad ass, they bite and don't let go. Only slip joint pliers I've ever purchased.
All my experience with slip joint pliers came from grand father's and dad's tools hated them would never use, and if I did always disappointed.
I like the snap on so much I have 2 pair for me and have given as gifts.
Battery pliers another must have, that style of snap on is no longer available. I like them for the tapered nose can slip in-between terminal ears and open it to slip off post

I have the Channelock version of those and Dad has the Snap-On.
But I carry a normal pair of either 420 or 430 Channelocks at work.
I never imagined I would be making a living with a multi-bit screwdriver, Channelock pliers and a 6" Crescent adjustable but they're my go-tos for 95% of my work.
Carried a Leatherman for 30 years, used the crap out 3 of them.
Never owned a adjustable wrench. ( Cressent wrench)Never liked them.

I never imagined I would either. But this mill is so spread out that I drive a golf cart just to get around my area. And then you have to get to what you're working on that is routinely up a bunch of steps or ladders.
It's just convenient to have an adjustable that will do 90% of the jobs.
I use a 6" because it keeps me from over tightening tubes and fittings and will fit in most of the tight spaces I encounter.
When I'm actually in the shop, I usually use a proper wrench but most of the time it just isn't practical.
There are some good ones, now. I had the opportunity to use a snap on adjustable, coworkers. Only a short repair. I liked that it stayed were I put it. I could remove from nut and reposition w/o having to readjust. This also helps with not rounding the corners.
Bought this air over hydraulic nutzert/rivnut, or whatever they are called today, insert tool.
Put in over 100 hundred insert with it. No issues.
Not today. Make sure to hold it straight in your hand and low enough on the handle.
See that big black knob on the back. It moves back when the trigger is pulled. Then spring loaded center moves forward. It bit me.

I am sorry I know it hurts because I do this so often, even with pliers sometimes but I had to laugh when you said it bit you.
I actually did that last week

I WANT ONE OF THOSE NUT SERT AIR TOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hardest part was realizing I had to pull the trigger, with that same hand, to get it to release.
In my mind. "Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Crap, it won't let go. Pull the trigger you idiot."

I'm not sure how I worked so long without one. I have the same type of tool for pop rivets
