Efficient Closure with C S OSBORNE 1440 CC CLOSING: Seek, Find, and Secure! Review

Real (professional) leveling tool! I've ordered another brand before and they were about the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen, but this is a well made set that I'll be proud of for years to come!

I bought these pliers to tighten the ferrules of the ferrule pliers in the store. The curved handle and the beautifully shaped tool jaws served their purpose perfectly. I'm sure they would also do a great job of getting the loose rings securely in place.

Used for installing new rings when reinstalling seat covers after installing heated seats on my wife's 4runner. This tool worked amazingly, I couldn't believe how easy it was. The angle of the pliers is perfect and the spring locking feature made it easy to fit the ring into the pliers and then "blindly" attach the wires in the seat cover to the support wires at the bottom of the seat foam.

CS Osborne quality isn't what it used to be. This is the second item I've bought from them in the last few years and the second with poor grind quality. They're a decent design, but I had to sand them myself (1x30 sander and water-cool between sanding) to fit the tight hardware cloth spaces. They work but they are rude for their money.

The pliers didn't work as well as I thought. I used them to make tomato cages out of concrete reinforcing wire. My tongs were normally closed. They would stay in the open position as if in need of lubrication. Lubricated, but lubrication did not help. It was like the pliers were designed to be stiff when fully open. The tongs could not close the pig rings tightly with one squeeze of the handle. After using about 200 pig rings, I switched to Harbor Freight zip ties. The ties were faster and…

I just made custom length bungee cords with snaps on the ends. I use hog rings and shrink tape to make a nice finish. These pliers are good at crushing the ring with one grip, but I like to switch positions a few times and make sure the ends of the ring aren't sticking out. These tongs also did a great job holding the ring. I barely notice the spring holding her on the pig ring, but it's enough to keep her from falling. Lubricate them with gun oil every five years, or every time they get caught
