Review on πŸ”§ LAOA 8-Inch Needle-Nose Pliers with Stripper, Wire Cutter - 6-in-1 Multi-Function Tool (Model: 118008) by Jeff Long

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for those who make money from it.

I bought this as a cheap alternative to Knipex. They were sharp from the start and I expected a great performance from them. The hexagonal gripping sponge is a nice touch and I wish knipex had it with me. It's a pity that they are only available for metric wire gauges. The center not holding them together kept pulling back, this could probably be fixed with Loctite. They broke in half in a locking mechanism I find unnecessary by cutting THHN's 1/0 copper wire. I would like to know if and when the manufacturer will redesign and buy again at this point, but I need to cut my losses and buy another pair of Knipex at this point.

Pros
  • Hands-free device
Cons
  • Very expensive
