    6" is a bit small is it not ? Smallest they come in usually is 12" or thereabouts iirc.
    Cue for the next several posts of "I have a 6" one" fnar fnar.

    What are you trying to do? Maybe we can suggest another way to do it?

    I'd think any 6 inch ones would be crap quality toy ones anyway.

    brake pipes [:x] [:x] [:x] trying to undo the rusted on and therefore rounded off nut on the brake pipe. i chopped it off and fitted new brake pipe in the end.

    the old bloke i work with at work has some small stilsons (6in) that he bought at a motor/mech/tool stall a few years back. decent quality and very handy, obviously they'd struggle with 6in pipe but for small stuff ideal. if anyone spots any in future let me know.

    Use mole grips, or cut the pipe right down and use Irwin bolt grippers...

    the mac tools van came round to my work yesterday and they had a set of 6inch stilsons on display. Unsure on how much they are tho.

    have had a look on www.mactools.com and can find them on there so they maybe something that our dealer has sourced from elsewhere.
    Will try and remember to find out next friday for you if he still has them

    snap on came round today and had a 8" stilson on. 18 + VAT will see what mac tools is when he comes round

    Mac tools bloke did the same as snap on. They are both 8inch stilsons tho but plenty small enough.

    Sorry i thought the snap on one was 6inch because they looked really small but they was 8 inch ones. Although looking through the snap on catalogue it seems they do do them and but they are only 1 or 2 pound cheaper than the 8 inch ones.
