Review on Pliers - Tronex Chain Nose - Smooth Jaw (Long Handle) by James Cowan

I bought several of the Tronex pliers because I was happy to see that they were made in the USA, and had decent reviews.With the cost of these, you would expect high quality.I agree with the other reviewers about the comfort of these pliers, as they are great in that regard. However, after only 1 month of use,my chainnose pliers broke at the rivet. I called the company and they told me to ship them back and they'd look at them. They determined that I used themto bend too heavy of a wire, and told me that they wouldn't be exchangeable, but would replace them with a factory second, just this one time.I was using them to for a crimp bead, ridiculous! Well, needless to say, it wasn't long before the second pair snapped the same way as the first. I'll bebuying Lindstom from now on.
