Wilde ToolG262P.NP/CC 6-1/2" Slip Joint Pliers-Polished

Carry these on the farm and they are very functional. Wire cutter work well.

Great pliers. Slip joints by nature have a bit of play in them, my Mitutoyo's measured 1mm at the tip without any tightening/adjustment. I gave the nut a 1/4 turn just before they got too tight to open without a hassle and the play was reduced to .5mm. These are comparable to my USA Snap-on pair, and the nice Japanese pair of Engineers I have. The complaints about the narrow handles are quickly dismissed when you grab onto something at which point the handles are perfect. The handles make this the perfect back pocket pair. If you need to grab something with a larger diameter or need to really crank something tight grab the Knipex Cobras. Knipex Cobras are good for 95% of jobs but sometimes you just need a good pair of slip joints. These are a great pair and at $16-ish and made in the USA you might as well own two pairs.I want to add that it is hard to find a great pair of these in the oxide finish. The cheap chrome ones flake and leave deposits where you don't want them. The good chrome ones are often 3-5x the price of these.

these are Quality pliers and do what you expect your pliers to do and they never do! Like your cheaper pliers skitters around the wire you are trying to cut and rounds off the nut you were trying to hold. 40 years ago I asked a rancher why he always wore those pliers. he said "I promise you if you get a first class set of pliers and put them on your belt with the matching holster and wear them for a week and you will never take them off!"Addendum: So Now it has been 3 year in exactly one month since I bought these babies with the matching holster. Never once have they disappointed me. I am a small scale rancher and these pliers go through heck and back and look nearly new. and work like new. the red wrap on the handles has never come loose. They have never let me down. I generally figure after a year they don't owe me anything and just buy new ones but these served so well I just couldn't abandon them. So three years hard service in rain and muck and still working like a champ. Did I mention I love my pliers?

I never gave a lot of thought to a pair of standard slip joint pliers. They were just there and got used. These are far beyond anything I ever recall owning. I’ve had them all from the tool trucks to home center and others. Most end up lost/misplaced or in someone else’s tool collection ( I have 2 sons). These have a unusual shape to the handle;but,it seems to give more gripping power. They feel good in the hands and have a better fit than you usually see in other pliers. They are definitely well built. I’ll be buying more for the truck,boat and house. Also, I really like the flush pivot bolt.

Only rated based upon ergonomics and value for the money. Thickness is not necessarily a benchmark for durability. Though these are definitely NOT under built for their size.More to the point is the quality and composition of the metal used. This really determines the longevity and operational dependability (ruggedness) of any hand tool. What it is made of is more important than outward appearance. Bottom line—this company would not be in business as long as it has if it did not produce quality products made from quality materials. The finishing touches (machining,polishing and precision fitting) all add satisfaction to the finished product. Definitely “Five Star” all the way!

As a new farmer, one of the main tools I realized I needed to add to my everyday carry was this pair of pliers. They're well-built, sturdy pliers. The red handles will be easy to spot if dropped, and the flush fastener will allow me to get into tight spaces. The handles are loose enough to work easily, but the action is nice and tight. Would buy another one if these were lost.

I am glad that I found these Wilde Tool pliers.The set of three is a perfect set. Everything most home owners will ever need.They are made well and they work well.The fit and finish is excellent.I will definitely buy more Wilde tools. I do have some vintage WIlde tools that have to be at least 40 years old and they are still going strong. These tools are made to last.

My husband needed a good set of pliers for work. The ones he had been purchasing at retail stores never seem to hold up like his Diamond pliers, which have been long gone. After reading reviews, I decided to purchase a couple of these for him and he says they are great. They are sturdy and help get the job done.
