Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Flat-Nose Pliers: Optimal Tool for Wire Straightening & Jewelry Making Supplies by Kevin Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great pliers, but you may need to tweak them.

Because the spring is so stiff, I had to compress it harder than usual. This is most likely because I was used to working with pliers unaided (so maybe not the fault of the product itself but personal experience, do what you will) and the handles dug into me. Palms to severe discomfort, and I ended up having to adjust the geometry of the spring steel plates to soften the action a bit. I mainly use them for mail work, so I use them for quite a long time during the day. But so far in terms of quality and durability I really don't think you could do better for the price. Note, however, that the action on them is quite stiff and may require a little or a lot of adjustment depending on how hard or soft you like your pliers' action. I think I've had them for a little over a month now and they are fantastic; There were no other issues, and the one I had was easily fixed, so no complaints.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • The list will be long.
