This 546 works great in the kitchen to open 2-liter bottles and anything with sealed plastic caps (olive oil, peanut oil, etc.) or for faucet repairs. I love this design as I have others in the series.
However, while the short (3.25") handles on this 546 provide direct torque over the joint, I'm three-fingering its shortened handle along its full 6.5" length. Seems like another 1/2 to 3/4 inch would make a world of difference on these short pliers. I presume they're shorter in order to get into tighter spaces. Thus, unless you have a specific need for a short plier, I'd recommend the 548 (8-inch) plier instead.
