What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these pliers for exceptional cutting performance, comfortable ergonomics, and reliable durability. Most highlight sharp, precise cutting ability on wire, zip ties, and cables, with diagonal and needle-nose designs excelling in tight spaces. The non-slip, well-contoured handles reduce hand fatigue and provide excellent control during extended use. Reviewers consistently note strong value for the price, describing them as professional-grade tools at affordable costs. A small number report inconsistent cutting performance or minor defects, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by enthusiastic positive feedback.

Excellent tool. It has a good grip and the cutting is perfect. Everyone needs one of these. We keep one at home and another in our RV.

Super sharp and easy to use

The leverage on these is really great. I bought it to cut wires in silk flowers and they’re quite easy to snap. The blades are very sharp. The grip is nice.

Great value for the price!

Would Recommend

I bought this a few weeks ago, and I am very impressed by the quality and design. This tool has helped me to make quite a few projects a success. It’s very sharp, and has surprising amounts of cutting force, all while maintaining a sturdy grip. The edge stays sharp and I haven’t noticed any corrosion, even with it being left outside in the rain.

Not what they used to be

Would Recommend

My 2010 Made in USA Craftsman tools are a worlds better than this one. The nose came bent slightly and on the back of the plyers some of the chrome finish had fallen off and the copper coloring beneath was exposed. Size and feel is fine, but for a brand new tool you expect better quality.
