🔧 High-performance 5-inch Long Nose Pliers by Performance Tool 1105 Review

Not the quality I usually buy but I only needed them for my kitchen "junk" and I don't need an expensive pair. They work for menial jobs and that's all that matters.

Very poorly made. The jaws move about 50% when closed. The item has been returned. I have some very good pliers - just wanted to have a spare in the car. I didn't have high expectations but it's almost useless.

Bought to keep with my child's snow chains in case she needs to remove/reinstall one of the tension links. Scrap, but what do you expect for this price? It will do the job and my good pair of pliers will stay in my tool box.

It's not like these are really 5 star needle nose pliers but they cost next to nothing. I bought them to leave in the car with a tire patch kit so I don't have to rip a nail out of a roadside tire with my teeth. And for that they will be quite useful. So I am very happy with the purchase.

I needed a small needle tip to get the pin out of the steering wheel to install the new paddle shifters so I bought the cheapest I could find. Out of the box, the spring in the pliers popped out faster than my ex from our relationship, but it did the job so here it is.

I still use them because I ruined the packaging, but I don't like them. They don't stay closed and I have to manually tie them closer to the magazine with a rubber band. They also smell funny. My hands smell horrible from use. I don't like them but I ruined the packaging so I kept them. The more I use them, the angrier I get.

It smells of oil, also on the handles, do I have to wear gloves every time I use it? or how will my other tools smell in my toilet? Not everyone throws their tools in the dirty bucket at the back of the garage and goes home with irreversible grease and oil stains on their hands. What were they thinking? Did they just douse them with oil as they drove past the assembly line? If I find a way to eliminate the smell I will update this review.
