Of all the tools I lost, I miss my sly slip-joint pliers the most.
It was my fall-back-do-almost-anything tool.
So I'm in Sears with my gift cards and look for it.
This looks to be the same jaw and handle type.
I especially like the teeth setup.

Only thing is there's no rivet/nut holding it together.
Looks like the side-cutter lineman's setup.
Didn't handle it at all because I walked away from it looking for the
"original," and then we had to leave.
This is all I see on-line and it looks like my old pliers are gone.
Anybody use this slip-joint setup?
Seems a slip-joint shouldn't be tight and have to be oiled.
I don't know the technical term for the way this is held together.

I have seen tools with the craftsman name at flea market. Bought a pair
that look like these very cheap. Must be some secondary source.
