Tiny and well-machined
I've not actually used these much, if any, since I also bought the Xuron 450S Ultra-Precise Tweezer-Nose Pliers with Serrated Jaws at the same time, and have used them for everything I would have used these for, since they're only slightly bigger but have serrated jaws. Still, these are definitely something I'm glad to have in my tool collection, since they are smaller and sometimes you don't want serrations. And they're very well built, with a fluid motion and perfectly lined up jaws (side-to-side) with a near-perfect alignment between them (~60-70% down from the tip they start gradually separating, forming a very tiny gap).Here's measurements for anyone that needs them (taken with a digital caliper):Jaw width: ~1.15mm at the tip, 1.99mm at the inner end of the gripping section (inner portion of jaws)Jaw height: 1.26mm/4.21mm together, 0.53mm & 0.62mm at the tips separately (slightly different for each one), 2.27mm for both individually at the inner endJaw length: 12mm to the point they curve outAnd here are the measurements for the previously mentioned Xuron pliers for comparison:Jaw width: ~1.21mm at the tip, 2.63mm at the inner end of the gripping section (inner portion of jaws; this is a very arbitrary measurement)Jaw height: 1.70mm/6.55mm together, 0.99mm & 0.76mm at the tips separately (quite a bit different for each one), 3.04/3.32mm for each individually at the inner endJaw length: ~18.7mm to the point they curve out

Great for handling small parts
Bought this to help out with hobbies and watch repair. Works great! Makes handling those tiny pieces so much easier. Been using it for quite a while before writing the review. No complaints. When searching for a micro plier, I saw several reviews about them breaking too easy. Well all I can say is that they are MICRO pliers and you should treat them accordingly. I don't think these are built to grasp with extreme force. Also, people forget how much the power of your grip is increased on the business end of pliers when you squeeze. For a heavy duty job, these are not what you want. But for delicate, precision use these are GREAT! Would highly recommend!

Worked in chromebook port
These worked perfectly for what I needed, five stars from me. Fit in small port on side of my daughter's chromebook, with room to open and close (essential for gripping onto something). Regular needle nose pliers were too big, and other stuff I tried around the house only smooshed the broken piece in there more. Needed to grab on and pull, and these micro pliers did the trick. Pics to show what we had. They are lightweight and small, but perfect for small jobs like this which didn't require heavy tugging.

A Bargain: Both in Price AND Quality
These are extremely high quality pointed nose pliers that, unbelievably for the price, are actually made in Italy. They are comfortable to hold, have a nice rebound spring, and have a nice accuracy in the alignment of the mini-jaws. These are great for all types of hobbies, including beading, jewelry making, and working with those new, cool laser-cut metal models that are popping up everywhere (just search "ICONX" on Amazon to pull up dozens of them). If you search the brand on Amazon, you'll find at least three of them, all different, that are the same, or even less, in price. It's hard to believe you can get such quality devices from Italy at such a low price. I'm not saying that they are like Solingen scissors or anything like that, but I would certainly hold these up to some of the best American brands running three times the price.

Very nice for fine work.
When you need tiny pliers...the jaws of these pliers are literally about 1/2 inch long. They are between regular small needle nose pliers and tweezers. I got these for small electrical work, like soldering small wires into terminals. For my purposes, the are good, with solid light duty jaws with virtually zero play.

Tiny tool for toggles
I bought these tiny pliers to help me put toggles on my homemade pandemic masks. It works great and is saving me a ton of time. Right tool for the job!

Great quality
Everything about those plyers is great. They feel very comfortable in the hand, don't bend if forced and very precise. I like them and would recommend them.

High quality. Great size for tiny projects.
I needed something really small and I couldn’t quite tell from the description. But this is great for tiny things. Can’t imagine that anything smaller would be needed. Very high quality.

Tips warped literally right away
I used this to try and grip and pull out a stuck 3.5mm tip in my laptop's headphone jack. Immediately, and I truly mean on the first attempt at gripping, the ends of the pliers bent. They were also too thick and stubby to fit in properly, anyway, though this isn't a fault with the pliers.On top of this, they're horrifically overpriced (at least on Amazon).

Very nice
Very pointy chain nose plier, smaller tip (1mm) than most chain nose plier which is what I want.

Broke during first use
The tool broke the first day. I was using 20g wire as the tool was I rented and it snapped right off. Terrible
