I use these everyday in my field and I've only ever had one pair. I bought mine 3 yrs ago and use them in tight spaces and to grab and pull wires or bolts. I use them to twist sheet metal and cut capillary tubes and anything else i need to. They keep their shape and the edges always stay true. They don't seize up when they get wet either. Other pliers I've had in the past don't make it a year, yours do-Thanks channellock!
