C.H. Hanson Automatic Locking Pliers Review and Video Demo

Aug 26, 2011 Stuart 1 Comment

C.H. Hanson’s Automatic locking pliers are convenient, and I like ’em a lot, but they’re not perfect. Here’s why…

Jason on There’s a New Makita High Torque Impact Driver: “I think they have a lot of them so they can say “over 400 tools” on the platform”
MM on New Home Depot Tool Deals of the Day (11/6/25): “I have that saw. I bought it a few years ago and I don’t recall the price I paid so…”
Stuart on New Home Depot Tool Deals of the Day (11/6/25): “You don’t need a heavy and bulky work drive saw to cross cut trim boards or a 2×4.”
Stuart on New Home Depot Tool Deals of the Day (11/6/25): “Thank you! *fixed*”
Sinclaire on There’s a New Makita High Torque Impact Driver: “They have a lot of them but since they seem to always get knocked for not having that much torque…”
Jared on Home Depot Finally has their Own Mini Tool Box: “I’m not sure how I managed this. Can you delete the duplicate Stuart?”
