This set contains four of the most commonly used pliers, suitable for those who are installing a tool set for the first time or replacing old or broken tools. They are well packed. These pliers are good for light to medium household jobs and even some basic car jobs. Flat nose pliers and needle nose pliers are the most commonly used in my household, but pliers are good for electrical work and wire cutter pliers are good for cutting wire and plastic materials. All pliers have a thin rubberized coating with a good grip and are overall pleasant to the touch, although they are lightweight and not designed for heavy duty. Very good as an all-purpose tool and the orange handles are easy to see in the tool bag. All pliers except pliers can be used to cut wire, but wire cutters are best for flush cutting when cutting something like cable ties. I use these tongs around the house for a variety of tasks and they hold up pretty well. You don't always need heavy and expensive tools for easy work, they are also lighter and easier to handle than thicker pliers.
