i've had mine for about a month and they're well worth the value for what I paid. The only issues I have is they're bulky for someone who doesn't have large hands and they're rather uncomfortable with using the pliers because all they sharp edges on the handles and I could tell by squeezing them firmly that if I was to really use them for something heavy, heavy duty, they would probably fail because there's a lot of give in the handles, but would recommend for the value if they intended to be placed in glove boxes or boats or RVs they are kind of heavy and like I said, pretty bulky to wear in the sheath, which is really good quality on your belt tends to drag your pants down.
