Who makes these diagonal pliers?

[KnurledNut]

Can anyone identify these? There are no markings. 8" long.

 

[Mr.Nutcase]

I might say they are overseas pliers due the red/black handles

If they aren't marked they're made in a province you can't pronounce.

Its funny cause the compound action looks really similar to that of Snap On's hl138acp

those are thorsen http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200343050_200343050

bought this set when i was starting out still havent used half of them.... those little cutters worked pretty good for about 3 months

I really like them. They are built well. Tight hinges. Dual material grips. I could see them being useful in limited access areas.
Heres the other side...

Thanks 92integra. You solved a mystery. Apparently they have a lifetime warranty, so see if they will replace them for you.

markings on my pliers.

 

[KnurledNut]

Thanks for sharing the pic morregerbert. Whats your opinion of them?

 

[morregerbert]

they worth every cent i paid for them)))) a bit better then HF pliers. they got some slack, too much up down movement between handles. but i keep them in my emergency road tool bag and rarely use them.

Ate my dinner tonight with chopsticks, lettuce is a bit of challenge for me though.

Made by People's Iron Tool Factory #73 dba as Superior Tool Works. Just kidding.

No markings = guaranteed Made in China.

markings on my pliers.

So many of these generic Made in China pieces are stamped with a variety of "maker's markings" - AmPro is probably just one of several dozen importers.

Don't know why but Ampro has two websites and some different stuff on each.
