Ok, I'm going to buy both 027 & O track pliers. Strogey posted a report that made good sense. I'll post a report. However, I would you believe us if I said they work better than needle nose?
Truth be told I'm quite looking forward to getting some.
Sure needle nose work fine. However, I've worked with various metal forming dies etc. I can say without question if no pin is in rail,and... if the pilers were the correct size it would reform the metal quite well. The stretched metal would be forced into the web & the foot would end up slightly lower. That wouldn't be an issue. If the pin is in place & the pliers work the metal under the pin just so, it would indeed put the pin in tension & be tight.
By the way, I have the hose clamp pliers one person mentioned. They don't work well at all. The jaw is too narrow where the groove is & the groove dips inward to hold the clamping ring tips of the hose clamp. At the same time the groove is too large for 027.
Very best, Don Johnson
