I have purchased several Tekton pliers, needle tips, vices, etc. I'm very impressed with everyone. They find the best qualities in everyone and make them apparent when they build something. You are one of my favorites. I bought these after a pair of professional pliers I've owned for years. The second round in the tongs is what counts. Your vise will really add shine to your face. Needle noses are ok, nothing special but good tools. There's nothing super awesome about them. I look forward to buying more of their instruments when I see the next Great Buy. Their channel blockers are also very good, but I just have more than I need in this area. For your health.
