For the price,you're not going to get much better. The quality of these tools rivals most American and German manufacturers. Even Knipex and Whia are not making all of their tools in Germany and more. The trade off might be in a slightly lower quality steel or heat treatment or even a little less attention to detail and finishing. But at this price point, these are fantastic. I'm new to the angle head pliers but I do like them. I actually bought these to keep in the kitchen utility drawer. I have always kept a small assortment of tools there to handle small jobs around the home to reduce trips out to my shop or garage. These excel for this purpose. I'm quite happy with these.

I was attracted to the design of these pliers and the reasonable price. I was pleased to find them in a tool roll inside a cardboard box. Each operates well and the cutters are well ground. The alignment of the jaws is good and everything indexes properly. Outstanding value.

I have never had a pair of pliers that grips as well as these. They are amazing. They just don’t slip. Super stout. I definitely plan to buy more. You won’t regret it.

The pliers are already "broken in" sort of say so the closing/opening action is smooth and easy. They feel comfortable to use and the jaws close well. The only issue I found is machining or casting related with some parts of the jaws being ground further than others and some pieces of leftover metal on some parts. They do not affect function other than maybe cutting yourself with those edges. For the price, they're extremely good quality.

I needed something of good quality for work. Good size and easy to operate with one hand, as I work in the armature business. Easy to open. And man these are strong and won’t break on you

Let's be serious. I'm a Snap On/Blue Point guy but they don't make everything. I've started looking at different tools. I found Aries tool through Amazon and after a little research, I found it's an American Company out of Washington State, my home state. I understand very few tools are made in the States but everything I have seen, this is an honest company selling tools at a fair price.

They're kinda different but they definitely have their place in getting the job done 👍 pretty decent quality too!

This curve thing gets to the right pointWorks great

These pliers give you the control you need in tight spaces without damaging the insulation. They’re wide enough at the tips to make those clumsy muti wire connections to ensure a solid joint when the Marietta is twisted on. I’ve been on the lookout for pliers like these for a long time.

My favorite plier already, pretty good!

for my application/s , a light edge grind of most corners is required.WILL buy again if available.photo compare to 25 year old Blue handle duckbill pliers ( Chanel-lock)

Well made. Worth the price.

The quality is good, but the shoulders should be rounded to make rolling or pulling a wire possible. This design will cut the wire
