There once was a pliers named Bernard
To Find a pair is real hard
Tubalcain has many
In fact I'd say plenty
Probably why I don't have any
Lol

Good morning Mr. Pete, Yes I raised my hand. Someone let a commented about casting file handles . Sounds like a good idea. Could be a future project for you? Nice haul of pliers.
Still here with my hand up. The most interesting pair of Bernard type pliers I have ever seen was made for crimping two or more pieces of paper together. It is hard to describe how they worked but if you put two or more pieces of paper on top of each other it would punch kind of a triangle hole in them then fold the triangle back to hold the papers together. The guy told me his grandpa was a banker & used them to hold papers together rather than paper clips. I tried to buy them but because they were his grandpa's he didn't want to sell them. I have never seen another pair like them.
They were featured here a while ago, yes they are interesting pliers, the paper stapler that you never need to buy staples for.
@@SeanBZA Guess I missed that one. I'll look it up. Thanks for the heads up.
Mr.Pete , in Baltimore in the 60’s every boy that delivered papers had one of those small wire cutters to the wire that was holding a bundle of papers together, l still have mine!
I remember a friend having a pair of those cutters. When I asked what they were for, he told me the same thing that they were used to open newspaper bundles.
The "six of one and a smaller one" pliers bring back memories of my early teens, when I had a paper route! Those pliers are made to cut the bailing wire on bundles of newspapers. They worked very well, and didn't cut into the papers, only nicked the mat they were wrapped with.
Maybe you could cast some of those file handles in your foundry, that would be an interesting video. Till the end.👍🏻
And send them my way !
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Aluminium would be nice and light too.
Everyone needs a friend like Ray Jaramillo; and a new pole barn too!
Best Sunday morning ever. Breakfast with Mr Pete.
I was eating pancakes and Maine maple syrup while watching
Yes I was here for the total class. even did the extra credit. I like starting my day off in your class room!
Take care and I hope you have a good day.
Thank you. I understand completely how, despite efforts to downsize, stuff like this just happens to find its way into your shop. Enjoy it!
Wow! I have 1 pair of the dark “standard” ones that was my Grandfather’s. That’s enough for me.
Greetings from Australia
My Mother ran a clothing business, Some days after school I maintained the sewing machines this was in the early 60's many of the machines had round leather belts that were prone to stretching and breaking. The Bernard pliers were used to cut, punch and then crimp the hardened open C shaped steel clips that held the belt. You had to do it carefully so the fastener did not click when running over the pulleys. I guess every clothing workroom would need them as it was a constant service job.
I definitely watched it twice because I fell asleep half way through the first time and couldn’t remember what I had seen so started over. 😊 ! The joys of Mr Pete’s voice, a comfortable chair and old age . 😉 !
My first summer job (besides our farm) was in a cast iron foundry. There I saw how the cores were made and used. Those cores consisted of very well sorted quartz sand and an organic binder. The binder burnt out in the heat of the molten casting iron. After the outside sand was shaken loose, the part was moved over another recovery bin and tapped plus shaken to collect the now binderless sand for a new round. By the way, it took another month or so after the foundry job to get rid of the carbon black that was filling all my skin pores. And I mean indeed all...
I raised my hand, and stayed for the extra credit.
The belting pliers marked Singer had more uses. Years ago I worked as a fixer in a knitting room that made rib knit material. The machines that we had when I started were old turn top machines that were originally driven by a jack shaft in the ceiling and driven by a leather belt. They had been converted to motor drives but still used leather belts to drive them. On the take ups for the rolls of material we used small round leather belts and I have used this type of pliers many times to make new belts or repair old belts. We used single clips from a Clipper leather belt tool to join the ends together. I still have a pair of these pliers in my tool box.
What a wonderful gift! Those iron file handles are things of beauty as are the pliers. Thanks for sharing, Mr. Pete! :-)
My first experience with the Bernard style pliers was what we called "Fishing Pliers". In my, (much), younger days I worked a a mate on deep sea fishing boats. Owning the 4" plier with its leather holster was a badge of honor.
Interesting as always, Thanks. Yes till the End
Wow, a box of gold!!!! I first discovered Bernard pliers when watching one of your videos. I don't recall the exact video, but I do recall your quote. As you picked up a pair, you said " I can't help but think of my Father each time I pick up a pair Bernard pliers". At that point I had to have a pair. So I bought my first pair, own two now. All thanks to you Mr Pete and your memories of your Father. Oh an of course I already watched your two Bernard pliers videos. Thanks so much for your time and sharing all the great things you do!
Goooood Morning Mr. Pete!! I love the Singer pliers, if you take a closer look you'll see that they are a complete tool for repairing those leather drive belts. They cut to length, punch the hole and squeeze the staple. All in one tool!
That was a very nice gift. I have never seen that many Bernard pliers together, Wow.
Thanks and cannot wait until garage sale/auction season starts.
Awesome! Swimming in a pool of pliers! Almost as good as a whiskey lake and rock candy mountains.
Used to use that cutter when i had a newspaper route in the mid 70's when bundles were wrapped with wire
It also worked to cut the plastic banding that replaced the wire
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice gift.
I love my Bernard Parallel Pliers!
Great to see all the different pliers. Some are for electrical crimper/cutters for non-insulated wires connectors.
My hand is raised. What a collection.
I’ve always been interested in history. I like to know where we come from and how much we have evolved. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Mr. Peterson,
A fine collection... I like the cast iron file handles, I have not seen them before...
Take care.
Paul,,
@ 5:00 of the video, the cutter your showing; was like what I used as a (Long Island, New York, Newsday) newspaper boy circa 1963 to cut the wire they used to bundle my papers. I had a route of 40 houses. A single band of wire, if I were to guess Dia. maybe as big as 0.065" in. or just a little bit bigger. I also delivered the (Long Island, New York,) "Long Island Press."
My hand is up! Thanks for another great video. I found the Singer belt splicing pliers very interesting. I have at least 4 treadle machines and have found the splicing to be difficult. I think the last one I did I used a small drill bit to make the hole. Still a sketchy approach, but it worked.
Guys who had a paper route in the '60's and '70's always had those round wire clippers to cut open bundles of newspapers. I always thought that was standard fare given to the kids who had routes.
👍
@@Watchyn_Yarwood I also had the same cutters on my paper route
up in norther Maine we had big washer with slot in it
@@douglaspierce316 Had'em down here in the souf too
@@Watchyn_Yarwood plyers or washers with slots?
The first pair shown are wire cutters.
All the old newsboys carried a pair that were used to cut the wire on newspaper bundles (usually 50 papers in a daily bundle, and 20 on Sundays, the biggest edition).
That was fifty seven years ago for me and I still have mine.
They really are fascinating for the many adaptations used. My dad had a pair kept in our camper tool kit. He painted them white so they’d show up and not get lost. I was always fascinated with that one pair of pliers over any others. I inherited them and have found several more pairs over the years. Not many folks know or appreciate them. Btw I watched the whole vid. Please put a gold star next to my name in the attendance book😉

This is Roy in the UK. When I was in the RAF in the 1950s I had one of these pliers. They must have been licence produced here as the came as 'Maun' pliers Nicely blacked jaw parts with nickel plated handles. There were two parallel tapped holes on each jaw and I later saw one with jaws attached via the screws for undoing/doing up 'cannon' plugs and sockets on aircraft electronics. The Singer pliers were definitely for cutting and punching the rawhide leather belting used on the treadle machines, they probably had a groove in the jaws to accommodate the spring wire joiner for closing it up . There were 2 sizes of belts the larger one was for commercial sewing machines. I worked fixing sewing machines for quite a while as well as lots of mechanical things _ I am 82 now, ugh !
Cast file handles look interesting, I need to find a couple of my own!, Thanks Mr Pete 🇺🇲👍
i can now see where the term 'side cutters' that we still use to describe wire cutting pliers comes from. Very interesting. All the best from the U.K
🖐 Thanks for another good video. You're right, those Bernards are very fascinating.
Such a wonderful gift thanks for sharing
I would like Ray to comment here on the story of how he accumulated all of these?
Love the video and those pliers
nice bunch,,,interesting on the machine gun...i always wrap the box with tape....thanks
Interesting. That is a real pile of pliers. Probably a lifetime supply. 😊😁
never seen these pliers in Alaska. thanks for all your vids love them all
I really enjoyed looking at those Mr. Pete, Thank you. I didnt know there where so many different iterations of the Benard plyers, very interesting. I have seen the metal file handles at antique stores but never used them. I always use the wooden ones when filing saws or other projects, i might have to pick a metal one and give it a try. Thanks again for sharing, educating , and for your time.
Thank you ,now I know what funny looking pliers are. I have pair clasp pliers.
My mother worked at Singer before I was born. I'm going to show her this & ask if she's familiar with some of these, when she picks me up for Church drive-in service in a little bit. -crazy times we are living in.
Who doesn’t love Bernard pliers,
I saw a train ticket punch in the pictures at the end....good video
G'day from Australia. Interesting you refer to the "side cutter" because as an electrician we use side cutters for cutting cable. This makes a lot of sense in the case where you show the cutter function on your pliers are exactly that - a side cutter. Nowadays we appreciate the function of the side cutter as a stand-alone tool, but to appreciate where the tool's function came from is truely wonderful. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and how thorough you are in you videos. Thanks mate.
Great surprise delivery, I found the side cutter "handy size" version fishing a LONG time ago, figured they were made for fishing, still in tackle box... after oiled and freed up.. always great video's from Mr. Pete !!!
you may be able to guess what I do for fun, I work on locks, or things that lock, make keys to fit , and also pick them open, usually first step in getting into lock.
I love those file handles! I've got a collection of files that have been handed down from my Great Grand Father. Almost none of them have ever had handles, I wonder if they were used with one of these.
I've been trying to find those file handles around here..... but dang if everyone doesn't snag them up before I can!
I watched through the finish. Had some of those Bernard pliers in the ag shop. Sorry I'm one of those farm boys that chose ag class over industrial arts class. You are my hero because of your tool fascination in excess.
Thank you for watching
To this day, the Nipper is a very popular tool with carpenters in building and remodeling.
🖐 enjoy your videos immensely, The knowledge is invaluable Mr Pete thank you so much
Watched it all Lyle! Thank you!
The round ones were used by paperboys to cut the wire on the bundles of papers they delivered. I got a box of them in the 80's at the Washington Post when they went to plastic straps. My dad gave me a pair of parallel jaw Bernards to cut the wire on the bundles of papers on my route in the sixty's. I have two pairs of STAINLESS Bernards that I keep in my tackle box for wire lining salt water goodies The Damn things just WORK.
Merry new year? My grandad (circa 1893) started me fixing fence with these kind of pliers and I still use them . i like the big ones with the straight handles but I admit I abuse them driving in staples. Best wire cutters ,my old narled hands can still cut high tensile wire with them.
Yup! The standard side cutter model was the best fisherman's friend too !! They were great for making bottom and trolling rigs. Some guys would file a little trough or channel, lengthwise on one face. This mod was used as a guide... For bending or wrapping the piano wire that used in the process of making the rigs ! As always, Great job Mr. Pete !!
👍👍
I remember my father came across a pair of Bernard pliers, probably at an antique shop, but didn't know there were so many varieties. I always thought they were for baling wire and fences. The parallel jaws had a longitudinal groove, like for gripping a wire and pulling it tight.
... down the years I've always coveted my various parallel action plier types, mainly because they give great purchase, are highly modifiable and are extremely well made. BTW, in the UK these are called: 'Maun' pliers by 'Maun Industries'. My hand is raised! Stay safe Mr Pete!
Brian from Ma.Wow bestill my hart what a beautiful box of Benard pliers .I have a big set and a medium one thats been crappy fixed but i have a small variety of pliers and i grab for the Bernards almost every time and lol i think of you from your past videos and yes i get a little tickle any who .what a neat assortment of pliers cool handlels THANKS Besafe
Too cold in Phoenix to work in the shop (down to 48 degrees😁) so a new Tubalcain video is a welcomed sight! Thanks Mr Pete, great video as always!
You have multiple life times worth. My 2 pairs are still in good working order and I've had them for 60 years.
I believe I saw the pair I used to have that went missing! Thanks for the tip on who got my pliers Pete!
The two in one: Needle nose pliers with the side wire cutter can be used today in electrical work. I know I could use them in my line of work. I install security and stereo systems on cars. Yeah!
There are worse fixations than to quality tools like the Bernard pliers.
Thanks for the Bernard lesson. I have a pair of these from a tool box I got from my uncle... didn't know what they were as they had some paint spilled over the logo. After seeing this, I carefully cleaned off the paint and touched up the joints with some light oil. Found them to be the Bernard Jeweler's pliers as shown in 4:33 min. Thanks for the great info!
Very cool!
Hello from Australia. :-)
Those in favour say ‘aye’
Aye
Oy!
Merry New Year to you as well, Mr Pete!
The cast iron file handles are nice; they look durable.
Interesting. Don't know how many I passed by at yard sales because I didn't know their uniqueness or utility. Thanks for that!
very cool mr pete i love that kind of stuff wish we still made stuff like that here
I do own a Bernard! It's a paper or leather punch that doesn't have their parallel jaws, but still stamped Bernard. As always, enjoyed to the end. Thanks
That's some collection. Thanks for the video.
Nice 👍🙂 Scoutcrafter will have bernard and cast iron file handle envy.. lol
At 4:50 to 5:10. They were wire cutters for when bundles of newspapers were made up with a wire around them. If you didn't have one of those you could work a paper out from the center of the bundle and loosen it up. I had a couple of different paper routes when I was a lad.
The ones at the start that you call a “paper punch” are used by train or bus conductors for return tickets 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. 🙋🏻♂️
Gunsmiths couldn't do without them, at least I couldn't
Watched the whole video! Such a great collection of pliers.
What a box of plunder ! You are a lucky man. That Utica side cutter was also included in the Machine Gun tool kits as well. They were a secondary supplier to Bernard during the war. I have been looking for one to finish my kit for the 1917A1. Great pliers, great video! ✋️
👍👍👍
The needle nose pliers are very popular with electricians and they have become a general tool, you will find them in any shop and/or home, regardless.
I am in my seventies and I still think you are never too old to learn something new. I am from the UK by the way. keep em coming and a happy new year to you too.
I prefer to watch the videos where I can tell you are happy and excited through your voice
I’m here at the end and loved every minute ❤️
Amazing pliers collection.. My dad would have loved seeing these...
The first plier was indeed a wire cutter. I had one in the 50s to cut wire on newspaper bundles, worked great. Still have it.
Hand raised Mr. Pete! I inherited one of those file handles and it had a drill bit clamped in it. Now I know what it is and want to get more. They sure beat the china plastic handles. Also inherited one of those round nose pliers. There is another word for them that escapes me now. The are used to put a hook on the end of solid wire to wrap it around a screw terminal like a switch or receptacle.
Very interesting show!!! It's always fun to get some new tools
Very neat!
Of course I always stay to the end!
You have cornered the market on Bernard pliers. Thanks.
Here till the end! ✋Show me a bunch of tools any day! And I work in a Hardware Store! Well, I'm off to work now, so I'll see you later Mr. Pete.😎👍
I watched the whole thing! Thanks!
Thanks Mr Pete. Yes I raised my hand. I especially liked the punch and eyelet pliers as well as the file handles.
Darn, I grew up with a set of them, forgot about them. Loved them.
I think you've got the pliers covered.....gonna need to get a few more hands now lol. Thanks for sharing
Ones mans trash is another mans treasure, I am still enjoying your content,keep it up,you'll get extra credit🤗🤗
It has always fascinated me how much variety the world has produced for common items as pliers or even file handles. All good designs in their own right.
My hand is up. Very neat. Thanks.
