Pliers

Every job seems to need a different pair of pliers, and somehow you never have the right one in your pocket when it counts. Nixa Hardware & Seed Co stocks side cutters, needle nose, tongue-and-groove, and locking styles from brands like Klein, Channellock, Milwaukee, and Vulcan. Needle nose handles tight, fiddly work, tongue-and-groove takes on plumbing and odd-sized nuts, and locking pliers step in as a spare hand when you’re out of them. Grab the wrong pair and you’ll know it fast, usually with skinned knuckles. Keep one set in the truck and one in the shop; they never seem to end up in the same place twice.
