Thumbs up

good idea.
What I have done in the past (one time) is to saturate the pliers with WD40 in a plastic zip lock bag. Seal it up and reopen in a week. Good to go!
Liquid wrench or anything like that would also work.

I old and close mine under running water for a few minutes and they move like new. Too bad the blades are crazy dull now though. Had to do some wiring recently and I swear scissors would have worked better!

A) Those aren't pliers; they're side cutters
B) Spend more than $7 on a set...
C) Did you bury them in the back yard over winter or something?

I just used CLR!!!

I just did that on two sets. Sat them in a bowl for a while. They come back to life!

Neat idea though.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
