Pliers-shaped tool, 6in. long. Used for removing the caps or covers fitted on Meters Nos. 1, 2, 3B, 8A, 8AN, 9A, 9C, 9D, 9F, 9G, 11A, 11B, 11D, 12A, 12B, 14A, 14B, 16A and 17A.

Pliers-shaped tool, approximately 5in. long, with jaws tapering to a fine point; an adjustable screw is fitted in the thick part of one of the jaws. The tool is used for removing the caps of pilot lamps, the label holders which are fitted on switchboard jacks, and Lamp Caps and Labels Nos. 1 and 2. The screw should be adjusted to prevent the jaws from closing for a distance slightly smaller than the width of the label holder or lamp cap being removed. This prevents the label holder or lamp cap being damaged when a comparatively-heavy pressure is applied to the handle, and also relieves the strain on the thin tips of the pliers.
