Pliers MK 5 were another step down in material, up in strength, & more closely related to the venerable Archer.


The mane problem is the ratchet doesn't passively lock & doesn't have enough clearance.  It hasn't been worth printing another pair though.

Helas, it's proven easier to float the small boards upside down & just use the pliers for picking them out.  The pliers are still essential for moving the boards.

What's the status of those pliers 1 year later? They look rather useful, wondering whether one should give the design another spin.
