@jonhodgson @rocknroller912 Thanks guys, appreciate the guidance, clearly need to take more care next time I do similar 🙂 It didn’t help only having access to a mini grinder as trying to get the end flat was tricky to say the least. Anyway, good to know what went wrong!

You could still rescue your pliers if you have a good blow lamp by using the above process. Good practice. Watch Mark’s video.

Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.

@rocknroller912 got consigned to the tip with the Aldi doom router as they just chipped. Have you got a link to said video?

@tej

Here is the link plus one on the knife it might be mentioned in both.

 

Hope you have got Aldi out of your system, their advertising blurb is as infectious as Covid. Don’t be fooled again, ha ha I think that’s a line from Roger Daltrey.

I would suggest the fretting hammer made by Summit and sold at Tonetech

@mattbeels forgot to say, thanks for the recommendation it worked a treat 🙂
