HakkoCHP PN-2005 Long-Nose Pliers, Pointed Nose, Flat Outside Edge, Serrated Jaws, 32mm Jaw Length, 1.2mm Nose Width, 3mm Thick Steel, Red

I bought a few of the American options too (the blue ones) and they're ok, nice tip shapes, alignment, sizes, etc... but the Hakko's bring all the right stuff together;The Hakko's swell in the grip allows pinching with two fingers, the grip material is grippy.. the other has no swell, and worse yet the blue stuff is velvety slick.. so my hand keeps slipping down towards the pivot unless I hold it way far back.The Hakko's have a stop that allows them to open only so far, just the right amount (plenty), the blue ones flop wide open and is annoyingly clumsy, further compounded by the slick'ish grips.The Hakko's opening spring thing has a rounded area that rubs smoothly, the blue ones have a mostly straight chopped off tip that scratches the paint off of the contact area, you can feel every imperfection in the edge of the opposing handle... its just silly design/lazy manufacturing.The Hakko's come smooth and clean, the blue ones all came slathered in oil.BUY THE HAKKO's.

Really high quality and nice to use.

I needed to replace a very old Xcelite set of pliers that finally broke. These did that at 1/2 the Xcelite price. I would rate them very very close to the same in quality. The tips are small but sturdy, the grips are ergonomic. The spring tension is just right. I'll look to this brand again for other electronic hand tools.

These are VERY good. One slight, slight gripe is that the jaws, while the serations DO line-up, "give" a little too much when forced together. But they DO grip tightly; I will definitely buy more of these.

Well built and sturdy

nice that's all she wrote for electronic work

thanks

good!!!
