To the Barn Sale again! I haven't done much shopping lately. Trying to stick to things I can resell. So I found a Snap-On Hose Clamp Pliers HCP48BP wiith only a little surface rust. Motorcraft 36mm impact 1/2 drive deep socket. And a Craftsman battery pliers with patterned handle. They were nice so I put a pair of Bluebird pliers in the for sale box and kept the Craftsman. This photo is before they were cleaned - forgot to take an "after" shot.

Always have battery pliers handy, in my carry box, the big Snapon box, and a pair near the battery charger. Along with a battery brush, clamp spreader, and clamp puller. The battery is one place one cant be too heavy handed. Break the seals around the posts and youll have a corroded leaker.

Battery pliers were critical tools in the mechanic's box back when the hydrogen off-gassing from the battery could corrode the nuts on the battery clamps in a short minute. With modern "maintenance free" batteries, this is much less of an issue. But, of course, it's better to have the pliers than not...
