Would Not RecommendI really wanted to like these, but after using them off and on for about a year, I’m throwing in the towel. The build quality is about the worst I’ve seen in any hand tool, almost every pivot rivet is loose causing the entire tool to feel like it’s about to fall apart. The worst part is that I can’t figure out what this design is even trying to accomplish in the first place. Even if it saves you the 3 seconds it takes to adjust a normal groove joint plier, you’re left with absolutely no gripping...
As sturdy as any tool that you own
Would RecommendThey work real well and feel solid-no evidence of any rusting, after being stored outside in a box

Why is this tech, not on all pliers?
Would RecommendWow... amazing pliers for the price. The auto adjustable jaws are awesome as well
fav set
Would RecommendThis is my second pair cuz i lost my first but for the most part its great wihout applying ecceasive pressure on pipes and fittings because it stops right at the pressure point. I love them.

Would RecommendThese pliers work great! Especially on large fasteners better than the old tongue and groove pliers. Sturdy and solid plus a lifetime warranty! Only $16 for two is an excellent deal !
Nice but has flaws
Would Not RecommendI bought these because I liked the design and ease of use but found a flaw with the design with pinch clamps. When they meet small resistance from a pinch clamp they lock up and won't move to finish up removing the pinch clamp. This is frustrating since it makes me have to grab a different tool to do a simple function this tool should do.
WON'T LOCK
Would Not RecommendMaybe I'm not as mechanical as I thought after 60 years of mechanical work but, I've yet to figure these out.
kobalt pliers
Would RecommendThey are very good for the price. I cannot compare to the German made pliers but these seem plenty adequate and I don't use them everyday. Worth it.

Works great. Reduces the need for other pliers or wrenches.

Broken and used
Would Not RecommendThe big one looks like it has been used and then zip tied back on the package. Not to mention the lock mechanism won’t stay locked

Broken
Would Not RecommendBought this and had to return them because big plier was already broken without even using it. A pin on the handle came off.
