Some of my precious tools

I am eternally grateful that I found and bought them. They are an absolutely wonderful tool for my business. I use it often!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some little things

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice set for beginners.

I like flat and hugging pliers. The open bar tongs needed to be closed and relocated easily for general use. I suppose the smith will find them sufficient as they are. They require some work to forge.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • updates

poor quality and rusty

The pliers arrived today, very poorly packaged and covered in rust. They will come in handy after I clean them of rust and coat them with beeswax for protection. I also need to make a few adjustments to them to ensure they hold up the stock I'm working with.

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • -

Good tweezers for the price

Good products for the price. As a hobby gunsmith I desperately needed a pair of pliers to hold the stock and they fit me. My only two complaints were that they came with rust on the handle so I had to clean them well and they were very stiff to operate with one hand so I had to work on the joints to loosen them.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Poor instructions

They work well and are expensive.

I probably wouldn't buy them again. They are good but I would find several different styles. If you work with a bar, that's fine. If you're working with unusually shaped steel, you may need something different. None of these are suitable for railroad spikes or rebar. They get the job done and seem well made and good value. It's just that I personally would make a different choice if I were to buy them again.

Pros
  • Kit includes
Cons
  • Not sure

Quality pliers but not for beginners

Bought these pliers as a first set for a beginner farrier. While I appreciate the quality of the items I received, I didn't really like the shape of the tongs I purchased. Flat nose pliers have an incredibly small gripping surface, and serrated pliers don't fully close on the snaffle, making gripping small pieces of square stock difficult. I couldn't even hold the splint crutch for more than a hammer blow or two because I couldn't clench my jaw enough.

Pros
  • Quality material
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Good for beginners. Experts are looking elsewhere

First of all, my package arrived completely open. I was very concerned when I picked up the box and my pliers just slipped out of one end. Luckily all three were still inside so no damage was done. We strongly recommend that you check with the carrier how they transport and store the packages (I didn't see who delivered them). Otherwise they work fine. Free from rust and pitting as mentioned in other reviews. They were covered in some kind of paint that burned up pretty quickly in the forge and

Pros
  • Knife pliers
Cons
  • Very expensive
