I bought both the 6″ and the 8″ after my 8″ pair was lost, and am extremely happy with them. The self-adjusting part of these pliers is very cool. But the grip and the comfort are outstanding. After using these I would regret having to use my cold metal set. The rubberized handles give cushion and grip and the bite is outstanding. The unusual shape gives me the ability to add more pressure than the standard sets I have and used. I obviously have been won over by these an am looking at the other Stanley hand tools.

These have an excellent grip. The biting part of the tool is made of several layers of metal, all bolted together. Combine that with a soft rubber grip, and you have some awsome grabbing power. Plus, they are self adjusting, so no need to use the other hand to open them up to a larger size. I have had my set for a few years, and wouldnt trade them for anything. Buy these pliers, and you will throw your old slip-joint pliers away.

I recommend Stanley’s max grip line for comfort and non stressful dropping of the tool.

I have had these Pliers’ for appox. 4 weeks and if you can get the face for them onto a nut, bolt, screw, ect… You’ll be able to turn/remove it with no to very little slip. The cushioned grip is extremely comfortable for short or long term usage and also allows the user to gain more torch on the object in which you are working with. I have also complimented this tool with the needle nose version which is very similar in operation and functionality!!! A Definite 5 Star in my Book!!! I’d recommend them to anyone that could benefit for a little extra torch with a lot less effort!!!
