YES

These are the best linesman pliers you can get.

The best

I am not a lineman, rather a handyman. I bought these pliers for home wiring and general use. The pliers certainly feel/look/act well made. The grips are comfortable, open/close is very smooth, the grip pattern on the jaws themselves is very secure, the cutting edge and the crimp tool (in very early use) both perform very well. In terms of appearance mine arrived with yellow/black pattern rather than the blue pattern pictured on Amazon - not a big deal for me. The main complaint I have is that at 9", most of the length is handle, meaning that one hand operation requires somebody (apparently) with giant-sized hands. I'm 6'2" with hands that are approximately in proportion to the rest of me, and am used to quite easily fully opening most pairs of pliers with one hand. With these I get maybe 50% open with one hand. Of course this yields better leverage if/when needed, but for most general use I have found them a bit long and unwieldy. I did not notice any other reviewer comment on the size before I ordered these, so must be everyone else who wrote a review has giant hands?

Great price

Fit my hands fine, heavy feel and good griping.
