Description of Craftsman 9 45104 6 Inch Long Pliers
Solid joint pliers. High leverage rivet location for a 26 percent improvement in cutting and gripping. Constructed of forged, high carbon steel. 6-Inch. Guaranteed forever.
As a result of my tests i determined that these pliers are not suitable for industrial and scientific work... the slippery grip made it difficult to keep a firm hold on objects and the jaws did not align properly, resulting in scratched surfaces. The overall quality is subpar and not worth the investment..
Just OK but nothing like Knipex, Klein or GardnerBender. Another example of the decline of American manufacturing. It's the old story: big companies take over the management of the company. They only care about short-term gains, how cheap something can be made, short-term gains and their bounty. Quality falls, jobs are offshored, and American workers are paying the price.
