Too heavy, handles too big and too far apart.

Watch out for other negative reviews. That's what most others say and that these pliers are way too clumsy and heavy. The handles and grips are large and widely spaced (and I have big hands), they are awkward to hold and use. The only thing that makes them worthy for me is that I bought them for half the price here on Amazon otherwise I would have returned them.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Negative impression

Product sucks in pliers

I personally would not recommend these pliers. I received them and it didn't take long for the rubber sleeve to start falling out. Wait a month or two. Also, they are difficult to hold as they are designed for people with large hands. I have big hands so I had no problems with them but colleagues said they were huge. So again I don't recommend it. Also, you should lubricate them from time to time. They are difficult to open and close. Hope this helps someone.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • No automatic

Rigid and robust cutting pliers.

The wire cutters exceeded all my expectations. It's very heavy and well designed. I'm replacing old wire cutters that I've had for maybe 20 years or more. In my experience, these pliers will probably last as long as the old one. Good solid buy. Please note that there is no tool to strip the insulated wire. I didn't want this feature. I will use the mine for fence repairs and mechanical repairs.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Pliers aren't the most comfortable

I think I was surprised to see how bulky they are. They were bigger than my last pair. My last pair was handmade with a black handle and measured 8 inches. I didn't know there were different sizes of pliers. I would like to have 8 inches. My biggest complaint is the comfort. The handle is too far away and uncomfortable to hold. I ripped off the bulky handles and bent the handles toward each other, preheating them with a torch.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Highly recommended for pliers

These are carefully made pliers. I bought these to add to my car tool kit and they are great for securely gripping items or cutting through thick/hard items. However, as an electrician I would not recommend them as the head is extremely wide making them heavy and difficult to insert into a tool. Pocket. For the price, they're a good addition to the typical tool kit. They are easy to work with, the cutter is sharp and the notches on the jaws are very sharp, giving a good grip. I highly recommend

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Secret

Great all purpose pliers tool

I had a gap in my tool box - 2 wizegrips, 2 needles, ratchet, monkey etc but no heavy duty pliers to work with high torque. These pliers perfectly bite into metal and, with the help of a lever, remove stubborn screws, nuts, bolts and break off unnecessary metal. Arrived well lubricated, the grip is quite comfortable. Prolonged use may cause cramps and is definitely not suitable for those with smaller hands. These are great all-purpose pliers.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • Long lead time

Surprise home run for IRWIN!

IRWIN 9-1/2" Pliers competes with the best! Heavy duty professional tool that runs smoothly, has very comfortable grips, cuts 12 AWG wire like butter and has a steel handle. Most other far superior tongs of this type but are offered at a very reasonable price AMAZON Prime delivered them to me in record time Often not adequate protection of contents I have had fragile items more than once simply thrown into a plastic bag Complaint, perhaps you can make yours Share experiences with AMAZON so that

Pros
  • Wire Cutters
Cons
  • No Performance

No class entrepreneur. Homeowner Harry

They are not intended for everyday commercial use. The head is too big and unwieldy for the actual purpose. The handle is too wide and the handles are too thick. Nothing beats a Klein side cutter. Every manufacturer should try to make a copy of Klein's pliers out of it. They are the industry standard. And there's a reason for that. If I can get a copy that closely resembles Klein at half the price, I'll happily buy it. These were a lot cheaper. At $16, it's a great value. All you have to do is…

Pros
  • Tools and Household Goods
Cons
  • Doubtful Purchase for the Elderly
