I worked with a guy that called them "nines" was that a model number or a length of the pliers?

length. "nine kliens". or just "hand me the kliens". (no, I never wear the belt.)

aprentice mentioned "roundhouse" in another thread about 3 phase 4 wire multiwire branch circuits. I have heard this before, but I always call them a "family"...

That's a 'full boat' to me.

Kearney's, split bolts are a common name here but a BUG is the 38 J-frame I keep in my ankle holster... :D

Madison's I've never heard but battleship is a common name, we call them E-strips over here. I don't know why though, they do look more like an F.

How many know what an Ericson is, or Kindorf?

I'd never heard any other term than split-bolt myself, until today. We never use them. When we have to make taps we use c-taps. Seen them used for illegal service changes.

Madison clamps is the term I use although f-clips, f-clamps, battleships are common.

Call all 'em "Kleins".

Any body here call water bond clamps j-juniors?

Do you know what greenfield is?

Soap? (Yellow-77)

Used an ericsons (coupling) once in 13 years.

Regardless of age, I would guess that most anybody who has ever held a yellow ticket (even in their shoe) would know the terms; Kearney (bug), Nines, Erickson, Greenfield, Crows Knuckle, Kendorf, Sta-Cons, Jake EL (Jiffy EL), Square-to-round, Spin Tight, Mini, Hickey, Pump Pliers, Scotch Lock, and Junior.

FWIW, what do you call the other pouch on your tool belt where odd parts are kept? Bug Bag
