Title: Very useful pliers
Post by: Remgain on 15 June 2009, 09:54:32 AM: Last saturday I bought this couple of pliers (plain and rounded points).
These are for jewelry, and the rounded points one is VERY useful for bending rings, etc.

I highly recommend these tools.

As for the quality, honestly I don't know...

And they actually work? :o lol

Only joking, I've got some tools of similar vintage passed down from my dad, which are still in perfect working order. Newer tools often just don't match the old stuff for quality and durability >:(

Likewise. Yours wouldn't happen to have red grips would they?

I got my great grandfather's tile cutters and some other tools of his he used long, long before my dad came to be. Built to last they are.
