Heavy-Duty Professional Mechanic’s 6-Piece Plier Set
It may seem quite odd for a person with my relative incompetence to write about a tool set, but I’ve gone through quite a few in my day despite my ineptitude. For the price you would expect these sets of tools to be cheap and fall apart but they are anything but. Do I think they will last me forever? No, but having owned a set several times the price and using both sparingly over the years I can tell you that for recreational projects these work fantastically. It has all the general multi-purpose pliers that one needs for general household and mechanical projects (or in my case mishaps) along with a great pair of relatively slim curved needle nose pliers that I have searched for and only found in this set.
Obviously if you are hard core mechanical professional, you’re not going to get these but if you are simply looking for a relatively robust (and cheap) set of pliers for everyday use – look no further.
These are very well constructed and have held up as well as my craftsman but for a way better price.
I ordered this six-piece set and am pleased with the quality. However, what they sent me was a five-piece set in a six-piece pouch. One of the pouches was empty and the pouch said “six piece” kit on it. However, the barcode and label taped to the outside of the tool wrap said “five piece”.
I contacted Amazon and they stated that because they use a third party fulfillment for this item, they could not simply replace it with the proper full kit. They offered to let me return it for a full refund or to give me a 20% discount.
Since the missing item was the “hook nose plier” which I have not much use for, I determined taking the partial refund would be the simplest resolution. As always, my experiences with Amazon and their customer service is superb and I have no complaints where that is concerned. Just be aware that you may not get what you ordered for this item and that your options for dealing with it will probably be either returning it or going through the partial refund process. If that’s worth the trouble for you, then go for it — because these are great pliers for the price.
I bought this set after my craftsman set was stolen. I was pleasantly surprised. They are heavy duty and will last a long time. You can’t beat the price!
I think you’d have a hard time beating this deal. The tools are good quality ( compared to Craftsman and S/K ), and should hold up under much abuse. Buy them!
