Review on Wubbers Large 7mm and 9mm Bail Making Jewelry Pliers by Wendy Rodriguez

It's fine for what it is, but the quality of the tool itself leaves a lot to be desired. First, steel from Pakistan; it is printed on the side. The quality control of steel products from Pakistan is a bit questionable, so time will tell how reliable this tool really is. Dorne (and this is very important). Third, the handles of these pliers are covered in cheap pill-shaped foam where, after rubbing them with my thumb, tiny beads of pill-like material fell off. I'm not sure how long it will take for the coatings to fully degrade. The pliers do not spread as far as they seem, and the tension of the two-pronged spring is not very high; feels very weak. I know that longer grips are advertised as offering more leverage, they just feel very weird in the hands. I may have gotten a bad tool compared to everyone else, but given the rave reviews I've read about them, I'm disappointed in the quality of these pliers. I hope they improve the quality for customers after me.
