Pliers - Tronex Chain Nose - Smooth Jaw (Long Handle) Review

I am a jewelry designer and have used Lindstrom tools for the last 5 years. Because the handles kept getting sticky, I chose to purchase Tronex instead. I do love the handles BUT.the tips of the chain nose pliers are damaged and bent. The thickest material I work with are my 20g stainless steel jump rings.At this point, I cannot even use them for these jobs. The pliers just cannot grip them properly. I use a thumb jump ring tool and the rings slip out of the pliers and they jam into my thumb…

I needed some replacement piers for home electronics and thought I could get away with some inexpensive ones. What I got was the chance to re-learn that once you have used really good tools your spoiled for life. I was familiar with the top flight european brands but not the American made Tronex but I'm very glad to have discovered them. I have large hands and this version with the ergonomic = longer handles is a real plus for me. Some small pliers are really hard to hold but not these ones…

These are some of the finest precision tools you can buy. They meet or beat pretty much everything on the market including Lindstrom, Schmitz, Swanstrom, IdealTek, etc. I have used all of these and the Tronex ones are by far the highest quality. They are true precision tools, finely ground to very tight tolerances, with excellent feedback.

I bought several of the Tronex pliers because I was happy to see that they were made in the USA, and had decent reviews.With the cost of these, you would expect high quality.I agree with the other reviewers about the comfort of these pliers, as they are great in that regard. However, after only 1 month of use,my chainnose pliers broke at the rivet. I called the company and they told me to ship them back and they'd look at them. They determined that I used themto bend too heavy of a wire, and…

Fantastic - they are very precise, and the finishing on the jaws really makes a difference in not marking soft wire. The longer grip is very comfortable for me - my hands are on the bigger side and small handles dig in to my palms and become uncomfortable. Highly recommended, worth every penny!

Love these jewelry pliers. Very well made, super comfortable cushioned handle, nice tension, nice weight and a great tip. I would recommend using with 18 gauge wire and above. I used these for wire work with 16 gauge wire and bent the tip. I bent it back but am now very careful to only use with smaller gauge wire.

These are the best tools I've ever had in all my years of wire wrapping. The company is also great and will refurbish them for $10 after use. My hands sometimes hurt and these are the most comfortable I've found.
