STANLEYPliers, Bi-Material, Groove Joint, 8-Inch (84-034)

I usually call the pros for my home projects but I decided to try a few simple plumbing projects by myself (showerhead replacement, garbage disposal replacement, faucets, etc). I bought this and a Channellock to help at these tasks and wow, this Stanley kicked the other Plier's backside. The other pliers didn't loosen anything, but they did strip off a lot of finish. This Stanley, however, had a "death grip" and made everything super easy. I debated taking off one star for what I hope is just a cosmetic issue ... the "Slip Resistant Handle" is glued on and there was a huge gob of solidified glue sitting up where the plastic handle ends and the metal begins. My first impression was that this is pretty shoddy craftsmanship, but it's held up very well so far.

I am an older woman with arthritis so my hands are weaker than they used to be. I keep this in my kitchen and it is so helpful and opening jars and many other projects around the house. I would buy this product again.

This sturdy pair of pliers (along with another pair of grips) helps me with plumbing jobs that require two hands. You may want to put some tape around the jaws to prevent scratching your hardware. The handles are great if your hands, like mine, have started to hurt as you age. They are padded but not slippery, so you don't lose control over the work.

These are excellent and lightweight pliers, and it just makes you wonder why anyone would need any better or fancier than this. Stanley makes solid stuff for a fair price, and these are no exception.

Not the best or most precision channel lock pliers I have owned, but far from the worst. A decent set of pliers for their cost.

I'm a 70+ woman who has lost a lot of strength in my hands due to age and arthritis. I have had a very difficult time trying to open the screw-on caps you find on things like bleach, laundry detergent, and Air-Wick. These pliers have saved the day. I can now open every cap the manufacturers throw at me. They are not too heavy, either. Thank you, Stanley!

its Okay ,Gets the Job done for less

These are smaller than my old ones. But they are stronger than they look. The ratchet locks perfectly and does not skip with pressure. Very pleased

My wife might dispute this point, but sometimes the job calls for an eight inch groove-joint-plier and not a 10 inch groove-joint-plier. Now I happily have both!
