Universal 3-zone jaws grip multiple shapes and cleanly shear wire. Nut and bolt fastener allows fine‐tuning of operating tension. Slim, nonslip grips provide comfort and control without adding bulk.

These pliers were purchased because I was warned that Snap On items will 'disappear' at work. They are like 1/2-1/3 the price. Basically, they are outsiders. The sponge is a little stiffer than my broken snap-on slip pliers and the handle has less curvature at the tip, but otherwise they're surprisingly similar, without that being the case, but if you use the tool often enough, it is his feeling important. almost what I was hoping for, except for those two small details. No complaints at all.
I bought them for $14 and another 8 inch pliers for $40. I ended up returning the expensive ones because those Tekton pliers were better in every way. Not only did they fit perfectly in the holster on my belt, the prongs held up to my constant daily abuse. In the few months I've owned this pair the only damage so far has been a small tear in one of the handles, but that's because they're so strong I used them as a hammer once when trying to break one getting a big faucet out of a concrete…

Pros
Nut and bolt fasteners for fine adjustment of working tension
I have purchased several Tekton pliers, needle tips, vices, etc. I'm very impressed with everyone. They find the best qualities in everyone and make them apparent when they build something. You are one of my favorites. I bought these after a pair of professional pliers I've owned for years. The second round in the tongs is what counts. Your vise will really add shine to your face. Needle noses are ok, nothing special but good tools. There's nothing super awesome about them. I look forward to…
Pros
Thin, non-slip handles provide comfort and control without bloating
An excellent pair of pliers. They appear to be manufactured by Wilde Tool (in the US), specifically the G263P.NP model, and are rebranded/sold under the Tekton brand. That's a good thing, as they cost about half the price of the Wilde (bought it on sale for less than $7) and Tekton has a strong guarantee that they're well behind. Excellent ergonomics - handles expand properly at the base. I hate that cone - see Channellock 528. The fit was great. The jaws meet straight, the teeth are beautiful…
Pros
3-zone general purpose jaws for gripping various shapes and cutting wire cleanly
