I think with a lot of use this angled head might be of
value. I know that the straight head
needle nose can be laborious if you are working in an electric box particularly
when balancing on a ladder.
My first thought on the lanyard was not positive but then I
pondered the number of times I have dropped tools and had to get down from
where ever it was I was standing and get them and I revised my opinion.
The wire cutters and pliers aspect worked fine. I found the angled head a bit cumbersome but
I suspect with use it would become very valuable.
I wasn't thrilled with the wire stripping. Again I think it
was centered on the angled head and it was a different wrist movement to strip
the wire. I would think with practice
it would probably be fine.
The quality of the tool seems top notch. Considering the price I suspect that the most
frequent buyer will be someone who must use a tool such as this on a daily
basis as it is pretty pricey for the DIY crowd at $55.00 on Amazon.
From the Vendor:
62-degree angled head provides a more natural feel and
reduced wrist strain. Includes wire stripper, wire crimper and spanner.
Induction-hardened cutting edges cut the toughest materials.
Coated for superior rust resistance.
The handles feature a 3-component molded grip contoured for
optimal cushion and control, allowing the user to make more cuts comfortably.
The exclusive hook and lanyard system lets you attach pliers
to help prevent accidental drops and provide easy retrieval from pouches or
pockets.
If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
