Review on 🔧 Xuron Round Nose 488 Pliers: Versatile and Precise Tool for Various Applications by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Like XURON pliers, but not crazy about it.

The price and quality of XURON brand pliers are generally excellent. on my desktop. Over time (and experience) I've upgraded to different pliers - some were more expensive than others, but I picked what worked for me. After XURON came out, I decided to give it a try. The first were crimping pliers - STAR! I no longer hate crimping. I now have 7-8 different Xuron tongs that I love and have become my favorite. Decided to try this one to make very small loops. Tried it last night and didn't do it. I've played with copper wire - and yes, I know it's pretty soft - but the inside of the pliers always created dents in the wire, regardless of my grip, and the loop wasn't quite round. I pulled out a different (name) brand of round nose pliers with very small "noses" - the same copper wire but no damage. They are just as comfortable to use as other Xurons I have, but based on what I have found using them I would return them if I hadn't already discarded the packaging. I'll work with them over time and see what I can use them for.

Pros
  • Total length: 5 inches. Lightweight return springs for maximum ease of use.
Cons
  • old
