Anyone who hand lays their own track knows that the one tool they probably spend more time with than any other are their spiking pliers. So why are currently available spiking pliers so poorly designed? We wondered ourselves and decided that it was time for this lowly but important tool to get a serious makeover.

The Last Spike spiking pliers are different than any other spiking pliers you have ever seen - and for good reasons:

• Large, long design gives you more leverage and better control over the spiking operation
• Cushioned grip makes long hours of spiking more comfortable.
• Specially angled and ground tip specifically designed to make spike setting fast and easy.
• Precision ground slot in the tip of the pliers makes holding and setting the spike a precision operation
• Magnetic spike keep so that spikes are always close at hand.

The Last Spike spiking pliers are manufactured by Fast Tracks and are available in right hand and left hand versions. The difference between right and left hand is the jaw that the spike slot is ground on. Grinding the slot on the correct jaw makes it easier to see the slot when you load the spike into the pliers.
