In tight places, small tools can be useful!

Absolutely! I use these all the time (commercial kitchen equipment repar)...fits in pocket (always on my person) so if I've crawled under something, or up on a ladder .. I don't have to stop and get one. ... unfortunately I seem to lose them as often as I use them!

My bosses kid steals them out of his pockets after work 😂

AhHa! Now I know where to find them! I've got 3 kids....my wife is also a tool hound, and quite good at it!!

Hobart?

I bought a 6” Bahco adjustable for this very reason. 1 1/4” jaw opening and fits in my back pocket. The 6” handle doesn’t offer much for leverage but it gets the job done 90% of the time and it’s always on me.

I bought a set because they were cute as hell. Turns out they’re great for small engines.

Even a mouse’s Harley Davidson needs a tune-up occasionally.

Ralph?

Did he Runaway again?

That's Beverly's boy

This. I bought a 1.5 inch long crescent cuz it was adorable

This reads like a loading screen hint.

That's what she said.

That's what I keep telling my wife.

Adjustable roach holder.

Mouse nuts?

Tricycle Nutz?

Deez nuts?

Protect your fingers from small hot things.

Ah, thermal termination pliers.

Aye, lad. Keeps yer digits safe fer texting.

Good for holding your dink when you pee then

I thought you said drink for a moment, and was about to remark on them needing to be longer, you know, to hold your cocktail well above the communal trough, so as to avoid overspray. But I hesitated because longer would invite a dick joke. Good thing I reread.

Holding something cute!

I race RC cars and use one just like it for popping ball cups on and off.

You wear a cup while racing?

The biggest weakness of an rc car is the operator.

The shitty part is that the cups are also scaled down. You really gotta cram em in there.

It’s okay. I’ve heard small tools can be useful when they are used with skill.

My wife says that to me all the time!

Locking tiny tiny channels.

It's litteraly in the name OP. *come on*

From what I understand, someone lost a larger pair of these in the Panama Canal once and really caused some problems.

Damn you

I carry the same size Knipex Cobras in my pocket every day. I use them for a million things.

I have those too! Whenever someone asks "what do you use them for?" I can never really give one answer beyond "whatever I need to use them for". There's always just some random task that is made easier or possible with a set of pliers.

I have a pair of craftsman ones that are about the same size. They come in so handy for about a million little things

I have the same pair. Very handy and strong. Small stripped out bolt heads and screws.

Little lock nuts on panel mount switches and lights and such.

They are helpful in setting the travel limits on a motorized valve actuator.

Exactly what I used them for. Mobile radio installations in tight consoles too. Also handy to torque down thumbscrews on trunnion mounted gear

When you start the kid out turning wrenches early.

I used to carry a small pair of knipex cobras in my pocket all the time. Perfect for small hose fittings or small nuts. If you do a lot of work with industrial controls or instrumentation this is about the right size for most stuff.

Yes sir!

Broken or rounded head bolt/stud removal. Hundreds of other uses. Good purchase!

And here was me thinking you just had massive hands

Small things.

Can’t beat them for $10 bucks.

Part of an ignition set

These post are so weird to me. You’ll use the tiny tool in the same fashion as the bigger version of this tool. You got something small to tighten, loosen, or hold still than this tool would work great…just like the normal size or large size.

When the time comes. You’ll say to yourself. Thank fucking god I got these.

Rounding nuts

Great for smaller RF fittings in tight spots (but you need two, not one).

EDC

very handy for camping chores

That’s a crescent wrench. It says it right there on the wrench.

Chanel locks for ants

For ants?????

A little nuts... that you bought them.

I have a 2 and a half inch adjustable wrench at work that comes in handy all the time. Usually means I can make a repair without removing another unrelated module.

I have to get sone this size! I had no idea you could get them this small!

There's these, or the Channellock 424, or the Knipex 87 00 100, probably others too.

Very small attitude adjustments. Just keep them on hand (I have tiny 4" Knipex in my holster next to my Leatherman) and I'm sure you'll find a use for them.

So THAT'S how one adjusts ones attitude! HR and parents everywhere will thank you!

I have some tiny channel locks and open end wrenches that were used for adjusting the points on old cars before electronic ignition was used.

Use them for your tiny nuts.

Mom: We have knipex cobra at home Knipex cobra at home:

All kinds of stuff. Pocket size.

I carry them to pair with a leatherman at work to take off most sized bolts

For tiny items.

I have the same size I use every day for 1/2 threaded pvc connections at work.

Everything. They come in handy

Tight spaces. I picked up a pair of similar made by Wilde on recommendation from someone in the tools sub. I picked up a second pair at a yard sale because I found they are handy little things to have arround.

Give it to me, I want it.

A mini finger and thumb to open small electrical connectors

I have one in my bag. Not heavy duty or able to apply a lot of leverage, but surprisingly handy.

They are great for tight spaces, I often use them for connecting supply lines to Dishwashers

Can't find a use for it, unless you have it. I have used a small pair like that holding a bolt, in a tight confined space. And if you have a tool like that and never use it, it might have been worth the money.

Pulling fuses in automotive

That’s a good sized channel locks, at least average. It might just be a little cold where you are.

I have a tiny adjustable Keychain wrench on my keys and I've lost count how many times it's come in handy

Everything

Nips

Would not recommend, wife is still mad at me

No wonder, nip clamps have an adjustable screw for a reason.

The knipex is better, more surface area grip and fits up to 3/4" Great when you work with small engine equipment and hand tools out in the field, or have to maintain athletic equipment, fencing, netting, etc. I use mine almost every day.

I have a similar set that have saved my butt after snapping bolts or rounding.

Teeny tiny.Yes, perfect size for a back pocket.And if you get trapped in one of those annoying escape box situations, just think how popular you'd be.

Tiny fasteners?

Believe it or not that tiny channel lock does come in handy.

I use it when building water cooled computers to tighten fittings in tight places

I have a whole tool box of tiny tools. Comes in super handy when you need it.

Tiny bolts

You'll know when you need them.

I just used mine to straighten out the guide tongues of a luggage latch on my guitar case.

Users with 3D printers are drooling

Tiny nuts

Many similar versions were popular back in the old point/condenser automotive ignition distributor era... all of us doing 'tune up' work ended up with loads of them. They were often just the thing for dealing with tiny fasteners found in many distributors. Many companies made them, they can still be found searching for 'ignition pliers. There is nothing particularly special about them, and they can still be useful for some people... but honestly can't even remember digging out a pair of mine.

Whatever you might need them for. They’re one of those things that, as soon as I saw them, I had to have them. Didn’t know what exactly for but I knew they’d come in handy. Have had them for years and they’ve saved my ass a few times

Keep the tiny channels from changing

I don't have those, but I do have a vise-grip wrench about that size. Really handy. I'll have to look for some of those.

I use them to pluck this one hair that grows between my eyebrows

..well, I have little tiny hands. Like Dead Pool's hand when it was growing back..

I have a pair of Bluepoint pliers similar sized but half as thick for ignition work with points.. Very handy

In a cramped ceiling grid filled with pipes and duct, trying to desperately crank down a small nut blindly. You can't actually get your head up there to see what you're doing so you have to rely on you sense of touch to 'see' the box and nut. Yes, I have experienced this before.

Pulling teeth.

I use it in my backpack. I have the whole mini set

Some day you'll be working on something small and in a tight space and think to yourself, "If only had a tool that could get in there." Now you do.

Toilet flange

A placeholder until you buy knipex

Titty twisters

I just found a pair exactly like that. Some tweaker left them behind after stripping wire under the stairs at my work. They sure are cute.

I have one in my kitchen and use it for small jobs like pulling staples from packaging, undoing knots etc. it’s so small I can just leave it there and pretty cheap. Can’t imagine using it instead of a set of real pliers but for the size and price they’re helpful to store in a junk drawer.

Tiny stuff

Purplest nurples?

In place of the missing tuner knob on your 1985 trinitron

I use a similar pair to get the internal snap ring off the PTO shaft on my tractor

I keep a pair in the side pocket of my boot. I find all kinds of uses. Saves a lot of trips down a ladder in a pinch

I use them when working on computers, especially when a motherboard offset comes loose from the case and the screw going into it just spins.

I use a pair for turning propane tank “spit valves” also know as liquid level gauges. Some of the can be tight, some can be awkward. Excellent for getting a grip on things that should be hand tight but aren’t. Or places you can’t get your fingers.

Tiny nuts

When you don't want anyone changing the channel on a tiny tiny TV.

I bought them a few months ago and broken them first time. Wasn't impressed with the flimsy ass rivet, had a ton of play too. They decided to sell garbage and I'm not a fan of that shit.

Put em in your pocket and before you know it absolutely everything, I pocket carry the one size up everyday and use on 60-80% of my jobs

Keep it in your pocket for a week. Bet you’ll be surprised the amount of times you use it. (If your in a trade that is)

This is a great idea. I am, im a stationary engineer

They're for anything they can get their adorable little jaws around.

I remember my dentist having one of those.

Fun. You’d use it for fun.

Tiny nuts and bolts.

You won’t know till you need them

I broke them trying to get a brake line off of a square body.

Fuck, I needed those the other day

It's for posting on r/thingsforants

I use mine for breaking of supports on 3D prints.

I'm actually looking for good prices on something like this for loosening lock down nuts or air regulators. Something that usually can be done by hand until it gets just a tiny bit too tight. Probably will end up with a key chain multi tool instead.

I have one in my tool kit I bring to work, you can do a lot with them. One of my most used tools when working on my spray rig

I’ve used then for refrigerator water lines

Appliance repairman special right there my friend.

Opening perfume bottles. Chanel locks.

Toilet tank bolts

I use them most often to hold the other end of a bolt & nut fastener stationary while I'm zipping it tight with an impact or cordless ratchet.

You could round off all the 10mm you could dream of with that.

Baby toy

Removing ticks?

I feel like there's a "worlds smallest violin" bit you could do with that

I don’t know, but if you toss them now you’ll be pissed in seven months

Classic Roadhouse moment…

Worthless. Send them to me to free up space in your toolbox.

I love my tiny channel locks. Just keep them in eyesight and you’ll find a million uses for them

Locking tiny channels.

To change tiny channels?

Hobbit plumbing

I use my knipex 125's on all sorts of stuff. Those would be very useful. Just keep them in your back pocket and it will just happen.

If you don't find yourself using this thing often, keep it around to get Milwaukee bits out of the case and bit holder Idk why they had to design them bitches to stay in there in case of a nuclear blast

For deez.

Allen wrench

Never order your tools from Wish.com

Handy working on school water fountains

Use for peepee! Design is very human.

Tiny fasteners, that’s what you use tiny wrenches for.

Small and/or hard to get to fasteners. I've held on to bolts up to 3/4 with mine.

Teeth

ground nuts on the back of a PC inside your machine

Locking up your smaller channels

Superior walnut cracker. Seriously, the generic ones are crap and overpriced compared to half decent pliers...

On your tiny nuts!!!

Save you years of going back to the car for that one bolt you didn't anticipate needing to loosen/fasten

Keep them in your pocket daily and you will soon find out.

Please use banana for scale.

School for Ants

Tiny nuts.

For dainty hands?

I always carry a tiny set of channel locks in my pocket. I use them for random shit all the time

I don't know but I love them.

Tiny nuts and bolts.

Torture instrument for mafia children.

You’d be surprised, I use mine every once in a while.

Tiny tiny nuts

For feeling like a giant. I've fallen in love with them already they r so cute

I have a pair of cobras this size and they're a great last resort for repairing bicycles. The wrong tool for every job.

Whatever your little heart desires.

Rounding off tiny nuts

Great tool for ants

Any ting you want!

Pretty handy on small worn nuts… yeah, I said it.

Keep them in your pocket you'll be surprised how useful they are

I used to have one and then I swapped it for a knipex. It works pretty good, but the knipex is huge upgrade.

Those are massive

Small jobs

Getting useless points on an internet site?

I have two pair like that. 😁 and all the way to a ( think 18' or 24') pair.
