    It would have been a useful product but it's very poorly made with holes in and extremely rough. Useless for casting ingots. Returned straight away

    Nice wooden ring mandrel although shame it doesn't have the English markings but easy to tell from the existing one. Replaces a steel one I have which is very heavy and not marked

    The problem with these is the massive return spring. Why does a pair of pliers even have a return spring ? I have flat nose, needle nose and round nose pliers and they dont have return springs. Its virtually impossible to lightly grip something or even lightly squeeze and item because the force needed to over come the spring is greater than that needed to feel the work in the jaws.
    Disconnect the spring and i would raise these to 4 star but the construction is still too large and clunky for accurate work like jewellery repairs etc..

    Very good pliers for the price point, did the job I required them for admirably. The jaws and their movement are spot-on.

  6. ★★★★ YUSUF ADAM

    Value for money and works well.

    Value for money and works well.
    Manufacturing a bit poor, rivet ends poorly finished and some damage to nut corners on assemble. (One in Amazon pictures looks better)
    Handles, pvc coating and jaws are good.
    Jaws close parallel.
    If you want this as a proffesional tool, it looks like you will have to pay more.
