This set of 3 compound pliers uses 2 hinges to open the pliers wide in places where you may not have enough room for the handles to hold such a long pliers to spread . Great for cars and utility, I've found plenty of uses for straight jaw pliers. They are well made and work well. Bow pliers and duck pliers are also useful for getting into those hard to reach places and I'm impressed with the grip strength of all of them, they were strong enough to hold the nut in place in a very hard to reach spot while I tightened it Bolt. on the other hand. The photos don't really show how long they are and I was pleasantly surprised to see that these pliers are over 13 inches long and much better than even my longest needle nose pliers without opening the handles wider than a 6 inch plier have to . Sunex have always made quality tools and they are as good as any tool I have used. They come in a collapsible cloth pouch which is my favorite for these specialty tools. It can be rolled up and has elastic straps to keep it closed, or you can just hang it on the wall using the 2 grommets on the bag. The tools are made from a high quality chrome vanadium alloy and have comfortable rubberized handles. They have a lifetime guarantee but I've never had a Sunex tool breakage so I can't comment on how smooth the guarantee process is. I would definitely recommend these tools to anyone you can find at your local hardware store and I've had a lot of these mishaps which is why I've stopped buying tools from both the orange and blue stores.
