Stanley 89-870 FatMax Long Nose Pliers

Definitely one of the best quality Long nose pliers have used.

I bought these at the recommendation of the Sweethome as their "budget" pick for electrical work. They feel solidly built and the grip is good.

The pliers are fine, they work well, but the finish and quality is not what Stanley pliers used to be. It is made in CHINA, So much for Stanley name, you just can't find American tools anymore.

This is a real quality product, and will last many, many years.The price was better than in the retail stores, and it didn't take long to get them. ...
