Silverline Slim Jaw Waterpump Pliers Length 250mm - Jaw 40mm (PL22), Blue

Budget priced pliers with premium performance. Better pliers are available but you'll have to pay a considerable amount more for not much more performance.

I bought these to replace a set that came apart, with help! This pair are much sturdier, and larger. I don't have big hands, so this is a personal issue. My pair are a bit stiff to adjust the jaw size, but that hopefully means they are less likely to slip when under pressure. Whether they loosen, only time will tell.

These are probably fine for occasional domestic use and DIY, and are priced accordingly (£5.28). Mine were poorly finished around the 3 middle slip joint surfaces with a ridge that needs to be filed down (you can see the bright silver edges inside the slip joint where they are rubbing even before use) or allowed to wear over time. The pliers don't close easily and you have to press them shut. You can live with it, but if I needed them for work, I'd look at a better quality tool (quality brands seem to start at £15 mark).Overall fine for the odd bit of DIY, but if you like well made tools, then look at Bahco or similar - for three times the price.

Very good, medium quality on the good price plumbing plier

I like the machining on these "Gas-board Gordons". My old set is very cheap and wobbly, whereas these are more precise and easier to trust. Surprisingly inexpensive for what you get.

nicely made and does the job quite nicely. Not so easy to use but once you get it set up will work wonders. will fit almost anythig as the jaw is quite large once opened.

I've had several similar pairs of pliers in the past, all of which have come in an off the shelf toolkit, which have all been garbage. You know the kind of thing, adjust it to the right size, attack the nut you are loosening/tightening, your hand slips, you wrap your knuckles and the pliers no longer lock in to place. Little more than unusually shaped paperweights. These are totally different. There have a strong, firm action and a simple mechanism for ensuring they don't slip. The teeth are strong and don't deform, rather they hold the nut tightly. The grips are moulded and well fixed so they don't disappear mid job. Highly recommended.

Needed a strong solid pair of grippers and it was reasonable priced
