6 in. Diagonal Pliers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is ONE key factor in an amazing set of pliers. That is the joint. It all boils down to that one element that is vital to the single most important function. Stanley in it's amazing product design and standards of manufacturing have ensured the production of this tool was met. PRO: 1. Brand name. Need not go into greater detail than it's a Stanly Tool. 2. Quality of the metal used. 3. Again, the joint is precise, so tight and accurate, you could not fit a single atom in there if you tried. 4. Soft, yet durable grips. 5. That awesome color combination of Black and Yellow. 6. Sharp, correct angle and reliable cutting surface. 7. Power, with such a fine joint, little to no effort needed in the energy needed to make a cut. 8. Warrantee. Did you know, if you contact Stanley they will more than likely replace a tool, all you pay is shipping. (Correct me if I'm wrong). CON: 1. A much larger range of Diagonal Pliers is needed. 6", 8", 10", 12" and yes, even a 14" set would be nice. 2. Needs a light coat of oil, grease or lubricant to keep from small rust spots appearing, these are not stainless steel pliers. I use mine salt water fishing, and they do get some spots. OTHER: 1. BUY if you are looking for what I call the gold standard (get the joke, the yellow on Stanly tools, is gold color), in tools. 2. DON'T BUY if you are looking for stainless steel 6 in Diagonal Pliers, but then expect to pay 5X the cost.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pliers are well built and just the right weight. My only complaint is that they seem to only cut certain size stuff and not the things I need cut. I have put examples in pics below of what I cut with them. I will continue using them as they are the best I have found.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pliers are just right for everyday tasks. They fit and grip comfortably as well as hold great. They are perfect enough for me to use as well my husband and kids. They also don’t lose their hold. It’s definitely a must have for any home owner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wire cutters - have a lot of uses. I use these to help with many different tasks unlike other people. I use them regularly for pulling nails - it is so easy to grab and roll with little effort. I moreso use them for stripping wire and pulling wire. I can get wire ready with these much more quickly than with strippers. I will continue to use these as they are holding up really well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice set of cutting pliers. Very comfortable grips & sharp blades. Well made & it comes with a trusted Stanley lifetime warranty. However, I don’t think these heavy duty pliers will need a warranty. I used them to cut through 1/4” aircraft cable without any issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't used them too long but they seem solid yet easily used in one hand. I like the grips. The edges of the jaws do not meet up exactly in the middle. Doesn't seem to be much trouble with thicker wires but maybe with really thin ones. The pivot joint in the middle doesn't seem to be machined right but can't see that it affects the use of the tool. Overall I am content with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for a new pair of diagonal cutters for a while and I have found my go-to set. The double grip makes them very comfortable to use. The cut zip tie ends and wire easily. I see myself using these for a long time, they are sturdy and durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These diagonal cutters feel great, they are of high quality and the ergonomic double dipped handles have the perfect amount of cushion while still being durable. Unfortunately the particular set I got has a cross bite (see pics), and the cutters take much more effort than they should to cut simple items. I tried cutting a zip tie with the front 1/4” of these cutters and they couldn’t go through. The lower 1/2” of the cutter faces work as intended. These lose a couple stars because of that, otherwise they feel and look better than any other cutters I have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pliers have worked out great for me. I needed to make some repairs to my chicken coop and i had some wire ties holding some gaps closed. These pliers cut through the wire ties easily and when it came time to put my new piece of chicken wire up they helped me cut it to the perfect fit with no problem. I would definitely recommend getting these pliers to have around the house!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are well made cutters. I doubt you could find a better pair in this price range. The cutters line up perfect and there is little to no play in the joint. Handle grips are comfortable and stick to the hand well. Very satisfied with these diagonal cutting pliers.
