🔧 Efficient and Precise: Dykes Needle Pliers Extra 6 Inch for All Your Needlework Needs Review

The mouth is definitely not precise. The jaws don't really close together, making it difficult to grab small objects. Disappointed.

Look elsewhere, these wire cutters do not fit together and do not close completely. There were also metal scales stuck to the lips of the tongs. Really bad pliers, don't waste your time.

I bought this to help lift the lids of yogurt, foil from small medicine or supplement bottles etc because I don't have grip strength. Was disappointed when I found out that this one actually can't do it. But maybe mine is bad. The highlights don't say it has handles. :(

Purchased specifically for assembling Metal Earth models. I can grip small parts tight enough to use this for panel bends, but I wouldn't recommend using this for connector tabs. He doesn't have any teeth, so I didn't realize he was scratching anywhere. So it works fine.

I would say the pliers work, they have a nice smooth action and the spring is nice and springy. However, this is nothing more than precision machining. Look at the pictures, the right screen shows an example of the product, the left shows the product I received. The left jaw is 2mm wide, the right jaw is 1mm wide. They will work for my needs, but I will never buy this "brand" again.

These fine jaw tongs are very inexpensive. Runs smoothly and is well made. I have a small complaint that the ends of the sponges aren't quite symmetrical, one side is slightly thinner than the other. It doesn't matter except maybe for very fine work with tiny surface mount components for example, but for 99% of the tasks it works fine. For 10 times the price, you get pliers with a perfectly formed tip, but even that isn't necessary.

I bought this without expecting too much given the low price, but I was disappointed. I've had them for a few weeks with light use. When they arrived, I noticed that the tips of the pliers didn't meet flush, which should have been my first warning sign. Within a few weeks, the tip began to rust and got closer and closer. In fact, it wasn't stored in a humid place either. It will be kept in a nice cool/dry place with the rest of my tools. Of course I won't buy any more and I'm a little annoyed…

After reading mixed reviews I decided to give it a try. These needle nose pliers came pretty quickly after I ordered them. In my opinion they are definitely not worth the money I paid for them. The insulator or handle of one of the handles was ripped right out of the box. Another problem I've had with my pliers is that the springs that are supposed to help open the jaws aren't aligned at all and therefore don't interact with each other. Another issue I have against these pliers is that the jaws
