Stanley 8-Inch Bi-Material Lineman Pliers: Versatile and Durable Hand Tool Review

correct information posted. However, they were still larger than I expected. Probably strong, but rather fat and clumsy.

STANLEY 84-029 8" LINER PLATES. WELL MATCHED JAWS WITH INCITORS THAT CLOSE AND ADJUST THE JAWS SMOOTHLY. FOR THE PRICE YOU ARE AHEAD. AS GOOD AS KLINE.

The product I received is not the one in the picture (but it is actually 84-029 as listed on the Stanley website: http : //www.stanleytools.com/default.asp?CATEGORY=STANLEY+PLIERS&TYPE=PRODUCT&PARTNUMBER=84-029&SDesc=8%22+Stanley%26%23174%3B+Bi-Material+Lineman+pliers). It also looks like it has already been used (the plastic strap was broken, some scratches). Of course it will work fine and I can't really complain given the price, but getting something used instead of new is very frustrating.

Also, closer to the top of the jaw opening, there appears to be some abrasive grain in the joint. These…

I use these pliers for twisting and cutting wire. So far I've used it to splice/cut a bundle of 6-14 gauge wire. The grip could have been a bit better to offer more leverage. I find that when cutting anything less than 12 gauge I have to squeeze the pliers firmly. It took a lot of effort to cut the 6 gauge wire with it; it would not be possible if I were a weak person.
