These pliers compare well to some of the Cobalt brand pliers I own. They don't have rubber on the handles, but you can consider that a plus or minus depending on your application. All rivets feel solid and all three pliers snap in and out easily. These 3 packs cost about the same as the 3 packs you can get at Lowes. I really wish they were around $15 as at that price they would clearly be a buy. But for $23, they're not a bad deal.
