What we liked

  • + Covers the five core jobs: looping, gripping, reaching, bending and cutting wire
  • + A different handle color on each tool, so you grab the right plier without checking the jaws
  • + Polished steel heads with double-leaf springs and extra-fine tips for close work

Trade-offs

  • - Priced above the three and four piece budget sets, so it is a step up, not the cheapest start
  • - No crimping pliers or nylon jaw pliers, and the listing does not mention a storage case
