knots Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Does any one know what the plating metal for generic locking pliers is . I am preparing to modify a set to use as an anvil hold down jig. I suspect that the plating is nickel but have heard opinions that chrome may be what is used. Since I plan to do a bit of welding to complete this chore I would like to have a definitive answer before starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Chrome, often over nickel over copper.Nickel only; not likely, the dull lustre should be a dead giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
