content: I am looking for a pliers head that is serrated perpendicular to the length of the pliers, with a blunt nose.The purpose of these pliers is to grab a fat component (diode etc) from the side, and then bend it over.Like mini linemans pliers (5 inch long total).this with ESD handleshttps://www.amazon.com/SPEEDWOX-Linemans-Combination-Serrated-Precision/dp/B07KM3H82J?th=1does it exist? their the best for thick diode legs. they need serration.

content: properly bent diode leads for chirstmas.I have TONs of high end pliers I bought over the years but oddly enough for bending thick leads, the cheap ass shit is the best. I have some hopes for the serrated knipex.

content: I got the perfect tool, but its from like 1920. needs esd handles and a entire weekend of work though. I think the quality under neath the patina is better then the new amazon tool.Also the cutter is totally shot, I wonder if you can replace that with something useful or just patch it with epoxy.Anyone know ESD safe handle materials ?
