Does anyone in the San Antonio area have 3/4" Locline Segment Pliers I could borrow in the future?

I'm making a list of plumbing parts, and although their not needed, they do make snapping Locline segments together a lot easier. Rather than spending an extra $15 on my plumbing list, I was seeing if anyone had a set I could borrow. I'm planning on buying the fittings and valves in the upcoming weeks.....so I wouldn't need them right away ;)

Thanks....

It's crazy they want $15 for locline pliers. I, too, didn't feel the need to spend extra buying one of 'em. :)

I usually just dunk the female end of the locline into boiling water for a couple seconds to get the plastic to expand, and then force the pieces together (by leaning body weight on it). It's a good workout though, that's for sure!

Yeah I may just have to use my 250+ lbs of body weight on 'em to save the money :lol

Thanks for the hot water trick. Always used it in the automobile side of things but didn't think of it for this.

I bought a pair of locline pliers for 1/2" on my last tank but ended up lending those out to never see them again! I'll give these back if anyones got any :)
