GearWrench 82124 PivotForce Compound Action Review

Worth the money They are really good quality They do a great job They tighten things that you can easily crush You have to be careful with the side cutters or you end up with them can cut things . You shouldn't damage the edges but just wire works amazingly and I like that the needle tip requires very little effort to hold things in place

They are expensive but work very well. The slightly heavy sides lead me to believe they are of a higher quality than some of the other brands of pliers I have used in the past. Their use may seem strange at first, as the way they open and close is different from ordinary pliers. The hinge mechanism offers more strength than traditional pliers. Overall a solid purchase

They offer more clamping force but I'd really like to see them return to the normal grip design at the end of the tool. This hatched design absolutely sucks and you need extra grip strength to hold it all. They're also awkward to use, with one handle opening at a steep angle, which isn't a big deal and frankly came in handy in some situations.

Great pliers for the price! Compared to its Snap-On counterparts, this is a bargain. They work fine and smoothly. Cutter) to remove these exploded disposable stainless steel bellows on European vehicles. I didn't want to pay for a pair of snap on cutters but this was a great option!

I bought it not knowing what to expect. They are way better than I expected and I rate them higher than the more expensive Knipex I bought at the same time. The handle coating is dense and comfortable to hold. Two things that the significantly more expensive Knipex lacked. I've used them on stiff, thick wire and they worked pretty well. Cutting was easy with the leverage they have. Like I said, I assumed how well they worked. You can certainly give a shot on the run for your money.

Excellent set. I use them daily and am finally on my second set. I'm pretty strict with them, but they stand up to abuse. The first set served me for several years in daily use. Handles stay in place, won't slip or tear. I also don't use chemicals in my renovations, so I can't say if the handles will hold up. With a double hinge design, it really reduces hand fatigue. This will be my new housewarming gift for new homeowners. Every handyman should have them. Buy them and stop visiting them…

These GearWrench Pivot Force hand tools are awesome! A very big improvement over single-jointed cutters. A comfortable feel in the hand plus increased power make most cuts feel like a stapler. I will take these every day in place of my snap-on cutters. That's saying something, people talk about professional tools and not standard tools, but Pivot Force is undoubtedly professional quality. I'm a professional technician, but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to the tools you buy. Big tool…

I've used these washers on everything I can since I bought them. You'll make these cuts a little easier if you expand your tools, especially if the material eventually breaks and your hand takes a hit. In the short time I've had a needle nose, they made cautery pins a breeze, especially when entering through a narrow opening to bend the pins. Unfortunately a dipstick where I work ripped it out of my box when I turned around and ended up walking over it. They would have been fine but it was D8…
