TEKTON 34014 10-Inch Diagonal Cutting Pliers

I love these dikes. Let's just start there. They are a great product, they're light, sturdy, ergonomic, and function flawlessly.I'm an apprentice electrician, and my tools see a ton of use. I needed to get all of the tools on my required tool list, and when I first started I wasn't making very much money. So I did some research and landed on Tekton. I've never been happier with told I've purchased!As you can see from the pic, I've got more Tekton than just these cutters. The large, high leverage linesman pliers are my favorite too I've ever owned. My boss wanted me to cut 50 SS bolts and handed me his "fancy" high-hardness Klein dikes. They would barely cut bolt one. I lent my dikes to my toolie and I used the linesmans. Between the two of us we tore through the bolts in 4 minutes. He was impressed, but I just knew that's what I could expect from my Tekton Tools.I still need a bunch of stuff, and I have some older stuff that needs to be replaced. But whatever I buy, if Tekton makes it, that's where I'll get it! Thanks for making a fantastic product that my sparky crew and I can put our faith in when we're on the job!

Good cutting pliers, and considering the price. They're are great deal

Nice quality quickly delivered. Bought a total of four of these for a period of intense activity removing a very large radio transmitter and installing a replacement. Wore out one pair the first day through incredibly heavy use. Probably could have been sharpened but there was no time for that. Other three holding up well - probably will last many years. If you're a heavy user consider buying two and you'll still be ahead of buying one far more expensive pair to get a little longer useful life. Next time I take on a project like the one just ended I'll buy two pair only.....though the 3 I have left would probably do all that in need of doing.

Awesome side cutters. I'm really impressed with them. The quality is great. The grip is good too. Tekton's warranty is top notch.

Bad grinding and finishing work, edge of cutter are ground in two different directions, and are not close to being centered. causing items to tilt & pivot about the cutter's edge.Some of the tools I received the cutter is not even ground sharp, where both edges are supposed to be sharp (some cutter's have a flush/flat edge, with a knife edge cutting, but this tool should have two knife edges).Some of these had metal flash in the hinge, that was thick (would not break off) and prevented full closure.

Great tool for the price. These are not the USA made cutters. But look like good quality. Time will tell.

cheap

Was somewhat disappointed that this Tekton tool is made in China, have a few other sets of pliers from Texton that are made in USA. Nice pliers overall and work as intended
