Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Lindstrom RX7490 RX Flat Nose Plier - High-Quality Precision Tool for Various Applications by Denise Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent pliers, one flaw!

These are definitely good well made pliers. After years of using cheaper pliers, the handles on these Lindstom pliers were heaven. The ONLY reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is the PLASTIC spring between the handles! Come on, dear Lindstom designers, if you want to make a superior product at this price point, put a little more time and effort into designing the nib! The plastic one often pops out when you use pliers, which is annoying as hell when you have pliers in each hand and are working with tiny jump rings! I like that the tension of the spring is adjustable inside the handle depending on which of the three "slots" you put the end of the spring in, but the overall spring design could actually be done a lot better. Despite this flaw, they are value for money and I recommend them if you are interested in jewelry work. And the last. These pliers are advertised as scratch resistant pliers by several people in reviews and some jewelry tutorials I've looked at. Process! The best and quickest solution to this problem is to dip the tips of the pliers in Tool Magic, a liquid that dries to an elastic solid state on the pliers and prevents the hard edges of the tool from damaging metal materials. I swear by it and you can get it right here at Revain! Pliers don't hurt either! First of all, these pliers are worth their price. good investment
