Gearwrench - 6Pc Mixed Dipped Material Plier Set (82204-06)

Quality Plier set! Slight staining from the cardboard rubs off in a second with a dry microfiber so its not really an issue. Grips feel good, metal looks quality. Price is steep but its a full set with lifetime warranty. Worth it for sure, a no brainer when it goes on sale.

Very reliable absolutely love this set

This was a buy to add to my collection.

TLDR: Good tools, janky packaging. There might be black marks on your handles from them flopping around, but these wipe off. The joints on the cutter/pliers are tight, we'll see how they hold up over time, but my other GW tools have done well over years. The channel locks have some play, but just enough to make selecting and using a channel reasonably easy. The jaws are solid. Personally I'm a fan of the simpler dipped/coated style covering versus the plastic/rubber bimaterial handles. YMMV there, but these have tended to be easier to clean. That said, the packaging from GW sometimes sucks. Bad. This is one of those cases. Not a single tool was actually sitting in its packaged spot, and all the handles had black marks from flopping around. Thankfully nothing metal was trashed or rusting (the tools had an oil coating which is great), and all the marks really just wiped off. They're tools yes, but if you're paying 100$+ for a set, you'd expect better packaging than something from HorrorFreight :) Just some simple zip ties would fix it.

The writing comes off just by wiping it with a rag, no it doesn't affect the performance, but I've owned these for less than a month and two of the pair are almost unlegible. Will not buy again
