I read reviews of several pliers of this type that were a hell of a lot cheaper and got nervous that my two seater repair was going to be flatbread if I bought a Chinese one Crap. So I spent 5 times as much and bought a US pair of pliers. They worked fine, but I wish they were spring loaded like Chinese crap. They got the job done, but I wish I'd just bought a $10 pair for my simple one-time job. I'm not sure if this would have worked and I helped our GDP by buying an American lighter wallet. The job was done reasonably and helped our US workers.
