TEKTON Mini Flat Nose Pliers with Smooth Jaw - PMN23001: Precision and Versatility for Any Task Review

Excellent tool for fishing. Note that there are no cutting blades in the base of the pliers, so you still need the scissors in the toolbox.

They're great. Good quality, chic and just what I wanted and needed. Slightly wider than my pliers that I use for braiding wire. I don't use them much, but they're there when I need them.

The flat surface of the jaw is well suited for this task. Some documents may also have deeply embedded staples or even…

I have used several items from Tekton over the years and in general you can expect them to be decent or even better than decent - they take time to more than just to rename a directory entries, as many import providers do. I've had a few bad choices with Tekton and I usually go for higher quality tools, but overall it's a good mid-range brand to look out for first.
