Long nose pliers have narrow, tapered jaws that allow for gripping, bending, and positioning wires in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. They are commonly used in electrical work, jewelry making, and precision tasks requiring control and access in confined areas.

Electronic precision cutters are designed for ultra-fine, flush cuts on soft wires and electronic components. Their sharp, ground cutting edges and smooth operation make them ideal for work on PCBs, delicate wires, and precision assemblies. Do not cut nails or other hard metals with them!

A very common type of pliers are combination pliers which can be used to cut, grip and squeeze. We have ''a few'' of this kind.


Combination pliers are, for example, well suited to tighten and trim [[Material:Zip Ties|zip ties]] if they are used in easily accessible places or to bend thin sheet metal.

==[[Horizontal Bandsaw Introduction]]==


Needle-nose pliers are similar to combination pliers but are typically used for more delicate gripping and bending tasks. For example, they are quite useful for removing [[staples]] from ''soft'' [[wood]]. Where these pliers are still too big, you may want to use [[tweezers]].

Tongue-and-groove pliers can be useful to grip nuts and bolts or pretty much any other material as they are widely adjustable. However, an actual [[Wrenches|wrench]] is a better choice if the size you require is available.


They also yield pretty high gripping force due to their long handles which may be useful in some squeezing or crimping applications.

Diagonal cutting pliers are used to snip wires, e.g. in electrical work. Although a cutter is included in [[Pliers#Combination Pliers|combination pliers]] and many [[Pliers#Needle-Nose Pliers|needle-nose pliers]] as well, these can be sharpened much more easily and enable the user to reach wires in tight corners as the cutting edge continues over the entire length of the tool head.

[[Flush Cutters|Flush cutters]] can reach even tighter spaces and are used for delicate [[electronics]] work.

Revision as of 18:28, 19 October 2025

An overview of the waiting lists for our introductions that take more time than the tutors can usually invest spontaneously.

If you want to "wait" for a vehicle spot, see vehicle workspaces.

How to Use
Please link your user page at the bottom of each list you're interested in after you've filled it with enough information to contact you and/or activated "Allow other users to email me" in your preferences!

DO: link yourself for the introductions you need for your project(s)

DO NOT: link yourself for all available introductions just because you might need it at some point in the future - chances are you'll forget something important by the time you actually use the machine!

If a list is full enough and/or you have been waiting for a while, please reach out to the tool's tutors and kindly ask for a date - maybe they've just been too busy, but it could also be that they missed the list filling up and would appreciate the reminder.
