Kaltron Sturdy Steel Combination 8-Inch Plier

Overall quality is good, does its job well

Nice

The Kaltron Sturdy Steel Combination 8-Inch Plier is very impressive in quality and highly recommended in your toolbox. The plier does its job smoothly and it is a true value for money.

The tool is crooked in almost every way except where it matters which is the gripping surface which is good. My guess is that the machine on which it was made was itself crooked and old. Hence, the things you use this plier on might also end up crooked. The cutting part is poorly machined and does not look like it will be able to cut anything. The pivot rivet is quite good. The plier had some rubber like residue and black / dirty oil. I just cleaned and flushed it with clean machine oil. Only the metal part was dirty and needed cleaning; the rubberised handle is very clean and has nice grip. This review is based on just looking at the product. I still have to use it when I get the opportunity. Consider it good enough for occasional home use. One nice thing is that it ships straight from manufacturer, so no middle men [except amazon of course].

A wire cutter has not been built into the plier

Grip was good
