[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would put this in a category with other mini tools that I have. However, it is much stronger and much better quality than what I currently have. It seems to be very strong and very durable for It’s size. if you have a need for a small pliers this is what you want.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this tool without realizing how small it actually was. While it is very well built, I don’t see myself using this tool very often. It may come in handy for holding a screw in a hard to reach area, but I can’t think of much use beyond that.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these pliers a couple weeks ago and used them for about a week before writing this review. These pliers are handy to keep in your pocket for a just in case type of tool. The only thing I didn't like about these was they had a lot of rattle, like they fit together very loose.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pliers have helped in 2 situations already where I had limited room/access. The first was when i needed to replace a flex disc on my lawn mower. It has an aftermarket motor that sits further back than the original factory location and my wrenches were too thick to fit in the space. I was able to get a good bite on the nut and then use another pair of Crescent pliers to grab on and squeeze the handles of these mini pliers. I was then able to use a wrench on the bolt and get them all removed! No other tool i had was thin enough to fit in the space. These saved me from having to buy a set of specialty thin wrenches! I also used then i needed to remove some hard to access components doing a heater core replacement. I was able to get some 8mm bolts removed without needing to remove sections of the wirng harness.
Overall, these work really well and are strong especially considering the size. No wobbles or noticeable flex. My only wish would be for a spring so they automatically open and thicker handles (though thats a personal preference). Great pliers and work really well for those tight areas.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this product to be super helpful for various projects around my house. The size is small but that aspect of it is kind of what makes it so great. Its compactness without compromise in strength or quality makes it to where I can keep it in my pocket and whip it out when I need to get things done. The adjustable head of the pliers also makes it to where it can take on more than it might seem like it can. This set of pliers is ideal for a number of different projects, but especially those tight spots where only a small tool can get to. I would definitely recommend it as a tool that any do-it-yourselfer or project guru should have.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are a good pair of plyers .The size is good for getting into tight areas. Steel seems to be very tough. rubber handles are just stiff enough . I would definitely recommend these plyers to a friend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During a 1/8 scale RC car rebuild, I found myself returning to these pliers even when adjustment wasn't needed. The curved and coated handles were comfortable and ergonomic which made one handed manipulation very easy. The black oxide finish is a nice touch, and quite hard.
What made this great little tool so enjoyable to work with was the quality of the hold. The teeth are sharp and well placed. At the very tip is a small block which gives a near machinist grasp on flat parts.
This tool comes well packaged although it might be nice to see a reduction in the use of plastic.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these as a daily carry pocket plier. The quality is good, but the size of the jaw is too small to be practical. The handle length is long and thin, and the shape just makes them awkward to use. Overall it’s just doesn’t work for me.
