Description of π₯ High-Quality Tsunoda WP 300SC S PLA Iers Spring 12 Inch for Efficient Performance
9 positions water pump pliers. Replaceable plastic jaws prevent scratching on work pieces. Special shape pads hold a target tightly. Holdable range (External Diameter) : 22~70mm (0.87~2.76 Inch).

Does what it says on the tin like tightening with no scratches but feels like the silicone jaw covers are too soft so you don't get a nice hard firm grip.
This is my second pair of pliers from Tsunoda. They are well made and affordable. They are designed for very specific uses and are great when used as intended.
This tool is ideal for tightening or loosening items that don't want to damage the finish. In particular, I've used it to tighten knobs and knurled knobs in the bathroom that can be damaged with a vise or pliers.
I had a plastic water filter that I couldn't remove. These particular pliers allowed me to get a good grip to loosen and replace without damaging the filter. I'm reserving her for this particular job. The only problem, if you can call it a problem at all, is that all of the packaging was in Japanese. π
Very large, just under 12 inches long. Full protection of the steel jaws with hard resin inserts should hold up well. If loose, open pivot nut to tighten. The rubber grip offers some cushioning and seems to compress a lot. Need big hands to use it comfortably. The packaging says "Made in Thailand".
The locking mechanism doesn't hold up very well (channels) and the sponges themselves are too big for the normal household tasks I need them for. For example, faucets, sight nozzles, toilet water pipes, etc. Soft sponges protect well against scratches, but are quite slippery when wet. This may work well for larger diameter pipes, but overall they were a disappointment.
I needed soft jawed pliers for some jobs I do on wood and plastic. I thought it would be good. However, the jaws are too big for most of my needs. I bought an extra set of soft sponges. These aren't the toughest channel blocks. The handles are thin and flex when squeezed. They work well with large plastic rings or nuts such as those found on faucets and other plumbing fixtures. I bought them because they were the cheapest.
Sure, very few gunsmiths (professional or amateur) reach for a pipe wrench, but it saves hands and nerves when (dis)assembling a Ruger Single Action Revolver. Ruger's biggest problem is the butt/striker, but the next biggest problem is the bolt spring (which also holds the trigger pin). Ruger recommends using a flathead screwdriver, a great way to injure yourself and/or the gun. I removed the top plastic insert (to keep the sponge narrow enough for the nib so it doesn't slip off) and left theβ¦
