footprints review

[PlumbBobBob]

well i've been using my footprints lately and can honestly say that they are really easy to use. very comfortable feel in the hand and very secure on nuts. used it today side by side with knipex alligators on a syphon re-diaphragm on a low level cistern and must say the footies worked better for me than the alligators. i now have two pairs a nine inch set and little six inchers. i think i have been converted lol

you've seen the light. get shot of the alligators though & get the cobra's instead

Glad you are getting on well with your footprints! I think anything else tend to sometimes be a bit clumsy.

welcome to the real plumbers club look in the toolbox of anyone who gets the job done and youll find footprints a lot of blokes dont realise that they realy do lock on if used in the right direction and as you say once mastered they fit in the hand so much better than pump pliers and the 7 inch ones are great under sinks and behind pans etc
all you need now is a pair of 12 inch

is that the thumb turn ones steve?.
i used to use them years ago but kept getting chunks of my palm missing when they slippedQ!!

 

[PlumbBobBob]

no old ones with a screw that needs removing to adjust them

Footies are the dog's danglies. Thumb turns are an afront to real footprints.

I really hate the thumb turn ones too.
