Nickel plating usually has copper plating under it....Originally posted by knots43 View Post
both will have to be ground off to the base mild steel before you can weld it properly..
What are you intending to weld...??... which process..?? MIG?? TIG..??Last edited by H80N; 07-25-2015, 05:47 PM..

I would be real surprised to find a locking plier that was nickle plated. Probably chrome.
