Seller has single quantities for about $3 more, no way to get a group and pass them around that cheap. I wish I used some of these items enough to want better tools.

Not a big fan of the bulky plastic handles - other than that, they're nice quality pliers. I'd rather have the vinyl dipped handles.

I figured with the large paws you'd like the Jman series. I prefer the thinner ones myself but I have a few of the Jman series, I'll buy all I can for $2 or $3 at pawnshops.

When working around where power may be present, even though you think it may not be, I do like the J-man series. It is much harder for your hand to slip up and be on a metal part when you make contact. Where that is not a possibility like bench work, the regular handle is better.

So like most tool designs there is a purpose for multiple styles in the box. In a couple incidents where I have asked, what does lockout on the switch AND breaker mean along with tape covering them to prevent them from accidentally being hit mean, my hands have like the bigger grips preventing injury. All that happened was a flash followed by a cussin out.

Thanks for the heads up. :thumbup: I just picked up the Klein Tools 8" Journeyman Long-Nose Pliers 5 Pack for $5 cheaper from this seller on an auction that was about to end. I also got a 8% off coupon from Paypal. $11.04 a piece shipped. I only needed a couple but hey, whats wrong with having a few spares?

Dang. Too bad I already have those.

I love them by the way. After using them all day, your hands will thank you for it. I get a much better, more comfortable grip out of them.
