Review on πŸ”§ Xuron Round Nose 488 Pliers: Versatile and Precise Tool for Various Applications by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Capable of penetrating 1mm diameter holes

I'm a fugitive from "Ultra Thin Round Nose Pliers - 4 1/2" - PLR-491.10 How If you read it there, I didn't like it at all. For me it's all about the size of the tip of the pliers at the end. I need to get into a 1mm slip hole in the wire chain. These pliers from Xuron can, but the "Ultra Fine Plier" can't (they're too big) If you're also a refugee here, let this review reassure you that you've come to the right place. One tip of the pliers measures 0.021" x 0.032" (0.53mm x 0.81mm); the other tip measures 0.025" x 0.034" (0.64mm x 0.86mm). To better understand where where the tips are thicker, and where thicker, imagine that the pliers remain closed and the tip is ground across the gap between them - the tips are thinner in the plane of the pliers, with these pliers I could get into a hole with a diameter of 1 mm You should be able to do that too.

Pros
  • Innovative round tip, elliptical along blade length for maximum dexterity and shaping
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived
