Also consider firing the gun to warm the barrel naturally before using the belt method.


Old coworker who was "Off the boat" from Italy and didnt speak much english, would always yell PAPA-GALLO! when he wanted Channel locks.

It was short for pinze a papagallo or something related to pliers.


You can mirror the same method with a bench vise and something to line the jaws but make sure you rotate 'true' to avoid cross-threading
