<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 967907, member: 7957"]I use channel locks. Reasoning is simple. If you look at needle nose or most any other standard pliers, the tightest spot is at toward the pivot. In other words, it squeezes the edge of the 2X2 harder than the staple. With channel locks, the tightest spot is at the end. They squeeze the staple harder than the edge. This is particularly useful for my cents since they have a smaller hole and require a longer reach by the pliers than the others. Also. a lot of channel locks can do both prongs of the staple at once.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
