Pro: They seem well made and don't seem like they are prone to rusting. I will use them for electrician work and not surgery and they seem acceptable for that level of dexterity.Con: They are a bit beefy. I was expecting the ends to be smaller and more nimble.Conclusion. Make sure that the 8" is the size that you want. I guess in my mind, 8" is bigger than i thought. Next time I will order the size smaller.
