I made the mistake of puting my electrician's pliers in a damp place, and they became frozen in the closed position.
That was years ago, and at the time, I asked an electrician friend of many years experience, how to unfreeze the pliers.
He said to soak them in Coca Cola, or any other generic brand of cola, after which to put WD 40 on them.
Well, Saturday night, of last week, I finally bought a 2 liter bottle of generic Cola from Food Lion.
I put the pliers into a plastic jar, and poured in one liter of the Cola.
By today, the pliers will move just a very minute bit.
I poured out the now stale Cola and put in the rest of the liter this morning.
At the time, I didn't ask the electrician in great detail what to expect as to how long of a soaking it would take to unfreeze the pliers.
I'm sure we've got people on here with experience with this tood problem, so please let me know how long of a soaking it will take for the pliers to loosen up, from your own experience.
