Tools And Materials
Tools
- German Chain Nose Pliers With Ergonomic Handle
- German Long Round Nose Pliers
- Fat Daddy Cutter - We love these because they pack a lot of muscle to cut through some heavy duty materials. We used these to even out our chains at the end. You can cut through multiple chains at once without dulling your precision cutters.
- Tronex RAZOR Flush Cutter- Long Handle, #7223 - This is a great cutter for precision cuts as the tool can get into tiny spaces on your work.
