Excelta2847D Medium Needle Nose Pliers, 5.75 Inch, Stainless Steel, Serrated Jaws, Tapered Tip, Dual Leaf Springs, Ergonomic Grip, ESD Safe, Professional Precision Tool, Intermediate

These are great pliers! However other pairs I have ordered came with the plastic cover to protect the tips but these and the other pair I ordered from the same company did not! Hence the 4 stars!

These are the finest (as in tapering down to the smallest tips) needle nose pliers I have ever had. They seem well made, however I have not used them extensively. Definitely not cheap crap, though.

I mainly use it for electronics and bending pins straight again for connectors. Also use for handling small meticulous jobs that my fingers are too big for.

Very precise, excellent build quallity

Very good, while they have changes this design and the nose is now a little shorter than the way they made it in the past, it's still a price set of pliers, well made.

Excellent precision and quality.

Exactly what I wanted. Thank You!

I've been updating my electronics bench lately, replacing tools that are getting a little worn, etc. I really wanted to find a quality, but still affordable pair of needle-nose pliers to replace my last pair of Japanese made 3.5" needle-nose, finely-made pliers. They have really lasted a long time and I would have loved to have found a supplier that carried them, but alas, not possible, so I went shopping. The first pair I ordered turned out to be made by this company called Excelta, and they turned out to be a bit larger than I was looking for, but they are so nicely made and are such a good value that I decided to keep them on my bench as an additional size of pliers and keep looking for some smaller ones. Well, as it came to pass I found a pair that will fit the job of my smallest new pliers, and they too are from Excelta. They are made just as well as the first pair, and they are also a comparable value. What do I mean by well-made? Well, I'm sure they wouldn't measure up to a tool made by Wiha or some of the other German-made pliers, but they are smooth in action, tight at the joint, nicely polished surfaces on the gripping jaw areas and the tips meet precisely. The rubber grips are quite nice as well. As for value, some of those name-brand pliers I considered were running $60 to $130! I always try to buy quality, no matter what it is, but price doesn't necessarily mean quality, and reasonable price doesn't necessarily mean low quality, either. When I bought my first Japanese manufactured tools I felt they were high quality and reasonably priced. Time has proven both of these things as fact. Today the same thing is happening, but instead of Japan, it's now places like India, Viet Nam and in the case of these Excelta pliers, Pakistan. Yeah, I know, how can he say that? Why don't you buy made in the USA? I would dearly love to, but have you really tried to do that recently (and really, for some time now)? Tools that once were only made in the U.S. now come from everywhere else, and the manufacturers do their damnedest to hide where they are made! The package will say, "Designed" in the USA!, or "Packaged in the USA!" To me, I find all of this subterfuge embarrassing. These Excelta tools don't try to be anything else than what they say they are: Stainless-steel, 4.75" Chain-nose Pliers, made in Pakistan. They also ran me between $20 and $25, each. I appreciate honesty and value. I think both are apparent in these tools.
