tooltopia gearwrench pliers deal

[gungatim]

just got this email, seems like a pretty good deal. may put it on my Fathers Day wish list.

anyone use these? like the pushbutton or not?

I really like my knipex push button and these look a lot like them.

I really like my knipex push button and these look a lot like them.

Except the goofy awkward looking jaws. I wonder if they make it hard to get into some places.

saw the email this morning and ordered it.. i guess if the pliers are meh i can give them as a gift or something. has anybody actually used them? i havent found any solid evidence of use except for the botox comments on the jaws lol

I love how the list price is $285 lol.

I have a few different Gearwrench compound action pliers and really like them.

I have the Knipex pliers and they are very well made pliers HOWEVER when I need pliers I always go for my "good ole" Channel Locks because I have been using them for over 45 years...... Hard to get use to something new like the push button pliers when your muscle memory and work habits instinctively choose your tools.

BTW! The OP's 3 piece set is a "good" deal.
