Craftsman pliers with light built in

[Humble Mechanic]

What do you guys think of those Craftsman pliers with the light? They are in the new catalog, and they are set to come out in June. I am very curious

Sounds like another Craftsman gimmick tool to me.

I feel that. I got that mirror with the light on it. It made it really bulky. I took the light off and just use the mirror! HA!

No I think they should open up an operating room in the middle of the power tools section and start surgically implanting lights into the tips of our fingers.

Makes it easier to spot those with thumbs up their asses.

So there is a new craftsman catalog out? Last time I was at Sears the sales guy said they wont be making them anymore.

Yes there is, I was surprised too. I have yet to get one in the mail, but my mom received one on Friday or Saturday in the mail and she gave it to me.

Mine came on Friday or Saturday!!1

I too saw this in the new catalog I just received in the mail. I also thought it's just another Craftsman gimmick to appeal to Bob Vila wannabe's.

I mean I love the built-in LEDs on cordless tools but that's a whole 'nother matter. The pliers look bulky and I'd just be replacing batteries all the time. I replace enough batteries in my digital calipers and micrometers, I don't need one more thing that eats batteries I can't recharge.

I already have fingertip LEDs, I am thinking headlamp a better option than putting batteries in a pair of pliers.

who needs it...with all the free HF flashlights most of us have in our shops we can pretty much light up everything!

I bought the lighted mirror and have found it to be very handy for a deep dark corner.
