Review on πŸ”§ Cousin 4460 Craft & Jewelry Making Tool Kit, 3-Piece: A Must-Have for Creative DIY Crafts and Beautiful Jewelry! by Kristen Reid

You get what you pay for

Three tools supplied for less than $12 is a great price but you lose a lot of quality. Let's go through the parameters: Connection: Connections work smoothly and without play. Grips: The grips are nicely shaped and the rubber pads are comfortable. Feathers: Feathers work well when opening tools. The pliers were poorly sharpened. It looks like it was (poorly) hand formed. I had to sharpen and shape them myself to make the pliers comfortable to use. So-called forceps blades near the joint are basically useless. Wire Cutters: These work pretty well next to spade lugs for solid wire 22+. From the center of the blades to the knuckle, they're basically useless for any size wire. Round Nose Pliers: Long tips have a very rough surface, which I think is normal. The tips fit together well, but do not converge just before the joint, instead one points slightly "to the right" and the other "to the left". They still meet well and find work, but it's confusing.

Pros
  • Heavy duty tool ideal for cutting hardened alloy wire
Cons
  • Crumpled wire

Great quality for the price. Oily, though.
