8-inch Duck Bill Flat Nose Pliers 8” Flat Nose Long Reach Plier

Exactly what I ordered.

Great grip for cable splicing. I own 2 pairs! If I ever lose them I will definitely buy them again!

Exactly what I was looking for. These pliers are extremely well made and comfortable to use. Due to the thinness of the tips they should not be used for heavy work.Perfect for wiring or shaping thin metal.Would buy again.

Duckbill pliers are becoming scarce, and quality examples of this pattern are hard to find. These Kauplus pliers are a welcome version of good quality.The jaws are nicely cross-serrated, and they mesh together extremely well. The joint at the tip of the jaws cannot be felt when the handles are held closed. At this price point, that's amazing; at double the price point, it would still be impressive. The serrations are distinct but not too aggressive, and after a few weeks of use are showing very little wear (which is more than I can say for some other examples from better-known American tool companies.) The joint pin is ground perfectly flush and smooth. All surfaces are flat, parallel, and square.Given the length of the handles, there is some flex when force is applied. I have examples of this pattern from a couple of other makers, and the flex in the Kauplus version are in the middle of those pliers. Not the best, but not the worst either.The only slight downside — and I emphasize SLIGHT — is that they're just a bit tighter than I like. After oiling and a bit of exercise, however, they're perfectly usable.The only real competition left in this pattern are the Channelock version, which are not nearly as precisely made as the Kauplus pliers. These are a much better value. (There are other examples from European makers, but they don't have the cross-serrated jaws which I find necessary in this pattern.)For those in the know, Taiwan is rapidly becoming known for producing good quality tools at a fair price. These Kauplus pliers live up to that reputation.

I'm pleased with the quality and make of the pliers; manufactured to a high degree of quality within tight tolerances. Both jaw faces mesh 'flat and tight' together, which is hard to find in pliers today. Smooth operation. Feel natural in hand. Just a great plier. I haven't used them much yet but I can't envision them giving me any issues. I would definitely purchase them again.

I use these almost everyday at work and they're holding up great. Even with a bit of abuse (since I often use just the very corner of the jaw to pry into something so I can grab it, which you shouldn't do) they're not wearing out much at all. I have other tools in my toolbox from well known and expensive brands that are getting beat up faster than these even though I use them less. Give them a try, they're well worth the money.

I use these to work on helicopters. They will not slip bending cotter keys.

Pretty good tool, I use it primarily to twist 12/14g electrical wire before wirenut install.
