I think now I need 40-47 AWG wire and a piece of glass to test my Hakko, Engineer and Knipex pliers [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-f4e0765e-a20a-4b75-a27e-0c71eb13ec8b/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]

I like to have a nice pair of hemostats/forceps handy for working with the small stuff.

I'd never heard of chain nose pliers, despite having some. Great to know what they're called.

I find that these pliers (also available in a smaller size) are really handy for those times when you really need to grip and hold/twist something that you can only get the nose onto. A surprisingly useful addition to the toolbench. It took me a while to search for them. I knew they had something to do with dinosaurs. After lots of Googling things like "plierosaurus rex" I got there in the end.

Nice blog.

Those lead hooks look unique. It seems like they remain on the leads when in use?
