Pliers manufactured out East can be sent by post (7)
I believe the answer is:
replies
'be sent by post' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'pliers manufactured out east' is the wordplay.
'manufactured' is an anagram indicator.
'out' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'pliers' anagrammed gives 'replis'.
'replis' going around 'e' is 'REPLIES'.
'can' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
