I was glad to get them but after trying them on a pair of pliers I found they were too big to work with. I guess I should have known they wouldn't fit considering the pliers aren't the same brand, but they definitely looked like they would. Well, back to the drawing board and try to find a matching pair. The manufacturer of the pliers says you can buy the guard separately but when I went to their website. The only thing they had were pliers with guards, not just guards. I will never buy this brand of pliers again. Apologies to Beadsmith for the error and thank you for the prompt refund. I'll buy from you next time. I recommend this seller.
