Is anyone familiar with Top brand pliers? I just found a set of four different retaining ring pliers. They appear to be of decent quality, but I've never seen this brand before, and I have not tried to use them yet. Here's a couple of photos:

Made by Top Kogyo of Japan.

I would expect them to be high quality based on a couple of "TOP" brand wrenches I bought many years ago. The wrenches I have were from the cheapo line at an auto parts store. I have not seen the top brand for sale anywhere for years now though.

The original Klien adjustable wrenches were made by TOP. In fact the new ones are nothing more than an exact domestic copy of TOP. I think they even pay a licenseing fee or something.

TOP does make excellent products including these snap ring pliers. We carry the internal and external straight models and they go for over $20 each. I have yet to see anything from them that wasn't very well made.
