Z bend pliers

[Stihlbro]

If only I would of know about these pliers about 8 years ago..........

Available at hobby shops, eBay and amazon for less than 20 dollars.

I've used my vice, needle nose, propane torch, lineman pliers and waste time making custom throttle linkages for carb swaps on chain saws. Hope some one else will agree after they get a pair and use them.

They are handy i use them for throttle linkages on pushmowers mainly.

I had forgotten to buy some of these. I used about a 3 foot of tig wire to make a 5" linkage the other day

Some hardened wire will near cause a blood vessel burst if memory serves.

Great. Just great. Another tool that I obviously can use.

Don't feel alone. I can use it too. Bandaids are getting expensive making those bends.

If it weren't all the tools end up buying every year I could probably make a decent living repairing equipment. Already looking like I got to buy another 44" tool cabinet set from HFT.

Cold drawn wire rope wire (AISI 1074) makes excellent throttle linkage. Almost as good as music wire (AISI 1090).

Do you have pics? Source? Any extra you wanna part with? Hard to find around here. Coat hanger bender my self until I get one right.


The local hobby shop has some 2.5 mm rod, threaded on one end, and all these cool adapters that were for rc stuff on my last venture. Just can't keep buying and experimenting.

Sorry, they closed up the plant here in Joetown where I used to work so my supply dried up.
