Very easy to use. The offset handle design makes bending, stripping, crimping and other wire manipulations much easier than straight pliers. My wife also liked them for her projects so she had to order another pair for the kitchen trash drawer. Ordered more for my son in law. He prefers them to his straight pincers. Finally, after the return period had passed, there was a small issue with my original pair and the seller promptly replaced them, no questions asked. Definitely worth a 5 in my opinion.
