Revainrating 2 out of 5

OK for a small job but too cheap for something big

I have a $20 set of these pliers that I bought from Joanne for 3/8" spacers. I couldn't find a size for this version anywhere so I decided to try them for an additional $6 and hope they grow larger. Well, it turns out that they are very small (see photo). The grommets are only one piece so the backing looks pretty poor and not as strong as the two piece sets. The holds are pretty short and I could only do a few at a time before my hands just couldn't clench and I had to start using the floor and my body weight as leverage. The husband offered to help but eventually broke down. So now half the time I try to use them the sleeve gets stuck in the pliers. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money on a nicer kit if you plan on using it a lot.

Pros
  • Circlip Pliers
Cons
  • New Competitors Popped Up
