Wayne,

Have you ever carried it up or used it on many erected windmills? Seems like it could come in handy, but I’d have to do more thinking to use more than 3 to 4 of its 15 or so functions. Neat piece you have there.

Here's one. Just need to figure out which pocket to put it in....

The mind is a terrible thing when it's wasted ,

I have seen several tools similar over the years but I have never heard them called windmill pliers.

Windy that tool looks like something the three stooges would use. Nuck! Nuck! Nuck.

Especially the air coupler

CTXmiller that air valve is on there just in case the wheel on the windmill goes flat

You guys are too funny!

As to why they are called windmill pliers. I think somebody gave them that name because when you are up on a windmill you need so many different tools. These supposedly would fit the need. No I've never tried them while up on a tower. I'm still trying to figure out how the thumb screw works to make a vise. You screw it against the other jaw it will push it open.
