I bought a pair of these pliers about 30 years ago and have recently left them on a job somewhere and found this site when looking for a replacement. They were the most useful tool I have ever owned. Can grip and undo screws with mangled heads, grip things which would slip from ordinary long nose pliers, and in places where vice grip pliers would't fit. Indespensible for panel beating, automotive, plumbing, electrical etc, pull out tacks or bent over and hammered down nails, the list goes on. Showed no signs of the abuse I heaped on them either.
