Hakko CHP PN-2005 Long-Nose Pliers, Pointed Nose, Flat Outside Edge, Serrated Jaws, 32mm Jaw Length, 1.2mm Nose Width, 3mm Thick Steel, Red

These things are smooth, well made and the jaws line up very precisely. And they're made in the country that's home to Giorgia Meloni so what's not to like.

These pliers are yet one more that I have for my work on electronics. It is a nice pair of pliers and would recommend them highly except for the seller. He stalled on delivering them and when I complained he put in a ship request to the shipping company who kept stating they still hadn't arrived for them to ship. They did arrive but boy ... find a different seller with a good rating. I should have review this sellers rating.

Absolutely love these great for precision work

Very well made small pliers for fine work on little things. I am a gunsmith and need these for a few things. Best small pliers I have found as of yet!

Just what we needed ~ Perfect

They are okay but rather delicate, easily fold over themselves (like cheap scissors when you try to cut something too thick). Fine for some applications but I probably wouldn't buy for anything other than exclusively small electronics wire work or similar.

I bought a few of the American options too (the blue ones) and they're ok, nice tip shapes, alignment, sizes, etc... but the Hakko's bring all the right stuff together; The Hakko's swell in the grip allows pinching with two fingers, the grip material is grippy.. the other has no swell, and worse yet the blue stuff is velvety slick.. so my hand keeps slipping down towards the pivot unless I hold it way far back. The Hakko's have a stop that allows them to open only so far, just the right amount (plenty), the blue ones flop wide open and is annoyingly clumsy, further compounded by the slick'ish grips. The Hakko's opening spring thing has a rounded area that rubs smoothly, the blue ones have a mostly straight chopped off tip that scratches the paint off of the contact area, you can feel every imperfection in the edge of the opposing handle... its just silly design/lazy manufacturing. The Hakko's come smooth and clean, the blue ones all came slathered in oil. BUY THE HAKKO's.

Uploaded two photos for size comparison to the smaller Hakko and a non serrated pair of Knipex. To reviews that state "the jaws aren't parallel"... What are you trying to grab? Paper? A strand of hair? The pliers are parallel for small items. Is that not when you want them to be parallel??

Really good shape for getting to connectors that are in awkward places. Fantastic build quality. It is worth spending a little more on good tools.
