AFAIK, Lisle was the first to introduce these a few years ago. I won't bet on it, but Lisle was the first that I saw here. Yes, they're made in China, but the quality on my set is excellent for ~$20 each. Whether or not they designed them, who knows, but Lisle actually introduces a lot of new products every year that no one else has. They have an "inventor" reward if they use someone's idea for a new product which keeps their product line growing- they don't just throw random **** at the wall like some names do.

^ Lisle, Thexton, and K-D have all been innovators and "problem solvers" from Day One.
Which begs the question: do either Thexton or K-D offer anything to address the issue of whacky electrical plugs?

These would be fine as long as you don’t have arachnophobia.Thexton has this.

^ If you're looking for a less expensive option, the Thexton unit isn't it.

Glad I found this thread as I am due to add a variety of these pliers to the tool cart. I do a lot of work on my motorcycles and other vehicles and the electrical connectors can drive my frustration easily. I'll shop on Amazon for these but I don't shop/buy on Temu (just a personal choice). I womder if there is a particular set of these pliers better suited to the tight access of motorcyces versus cars?

I've been using these for years, originally designed for pulling off HT ignition leads. They also work great for depressing tabs on electrical plugs or fuel hose quick connectors or any kind of small hose work.
Lisle came out with some long ones. Only a couple left on Amazon.

^ The ones I was looking at up in Sequim a couple weeks ago appeared to be a bit smaller overall than the Lisle equivalents.
Made in mainland China. He was retailing them for about $8 bucks a pair - bulk - on a big display table.
Check your local "tool liquidator" outlet if you've got such a thing.
Generic - made in China (PRC) - black "spongy" handle with red stripe - no name - no packaging

^ Those are the same pliers I bought up in Sequim. They were not $8 - they were $13. So your Amazon price sounds like the same unit.
