Cheap and Cheerful: Power and Hand Tools

Cheap and Cheerful Loc-Line Pliers. Facilitates the assembly of hose segments. Essential when mounting strobe lights for Gobe diving gear.

Cons
  • Useless Features

If you need them, get them

EDIT: I ended up keeping them because I realized I would find them easier to use in the long run. I will return them. They don't help any better than my hands, though they collect locallines. It's just not worth it. In my opinion this is a waste of money.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some cons

Makes assembly and disassembly a breeze

If you're using Loc-line for anything, these pliers make assembly and disassembly easy. You have held up well. I personally use Loc-line for both cutting debris removal tools with a title saw and drilling with a drill press. Loc-line is also used in many flexible camera mounts and these pliers are great for adjusting the length of these mounts.

Pros
  • Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • Expensive

Work only occasionally and only when the components are perfectly aligned. 1/2 inch pliers will not work.

Bad design. Work only occasionally and only when the components are perfectly aligned. A 1/2" pliers is not suitable for attaching the hose to the coupling. The 1/4" pliers are only suitable for connecting pieces of hose, not for connecting a piece of hose to a coupling. The pliers had to come off be of a stronger material as the pins would expand and slide off the components when a lot of pressure was required to connect the pieces of tubing together.In cases where the pliers slipped off andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Protection
