Good pliers to begin with. I bought them for chain link fence work. The long handles ensure good leverage and the rubberized grips make it easier for hands to work. However, in the middle of work, I noticed that the pliers slipped a lot and all the large teeth were half worn out. I've had tools for decades that haven't worn much, so they're likely to be returned and I'm not sure I'll be asking for a replacement or a refund. 2 stars.
