Hey guys I can’t fucking open these and I’ve sprayed so much liquid wrench and shit on them. They are British WWII wire cutters and have been seized shut by rust or something. What is the strongest stuff I can get to open them? Is there a different method I should try?

have you tried putting a torch on it?

Leave them in Evaporust, itll eat the rust and bring them back better than any oil you can dump on it.

>>2601701 (OP)

Are you squeezing the handles together or pulling apart? Pull apart.

This.

>>2601701 (OP)

Smack it all over the place with a deadblow hammer.

Plasma torch. I'd recommend something less extreme, like molasses.

Completely degrease in acetone to remove all oil then evaporust or CLR or any rust remover can fully penetrate.

>>2601701 (OP)

Boil them in water for 15 minutes

Smack the rear pivot with a soft mallet. Should be free now. Now oil it all

Soak completely in oil overnight

I very much doubt it. There's probably some trick to it that you're too dumb to figure out.

>>2601701 (OP)

You are holding them upside down

OP you better post an update when you realize you've been using the tool wrong this whole time.

What was the urea content of the mollasses he used?
