Review on πŸ”§ Efficient 6-Inch Tsunoda PL-150SC-S PLA-iers: Replaceable Resin Jaw Pliers with Built-In Spring by Justin Hollins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pliers with removable plastic jaws

I bought these pliers for a specific job to replace valve cover gaskets on my 3.4 liter Toyota engine. When you remove the valve covers there are two small crescent shaped inserts on each head, one at each end of the head that will need to be removed. A good grip is required to remove them, and the pliers' plastic jaws allow for a grip without damaging the semi-circular inserts. They did a great job with this and I thought they did a great job releasing all the rubber hoses that needed to be removed. Anyone who has worked on cars knows that rubber hoses get stuck after a while and are very difficult to remove, especially if you want to remove them without damaging them. I found that I could grab the hoses with these new pliers and twist them out without damaging them. I ordered some replacement jaws as I'm sure they will wear out over time. In the past I've taped regular pliers around them to get the same effect as these new pliers, but these new ones work much better and I'm glad it's a new addition to my toolbox.

Pros
  • Replaceable plastic tips prevent scratches on workpieces.
Cons
  • Legacy Model
