Thanks for everyone's input. Do you think pistol grip pliers deserve a spot in the box?
Sure why not they are useful in some situations.
I have these on my to-grab, common tools cart. I have yet to find pliers that fit my hand better and are as tough as these:
Wilde Pliers. The ones I have are a private labeled set that I picked up really cheap through an aftermarket ag parts supplier, but they're exactly like the one in the link.

They look good, I will have to check those out. Thanks.
These pliers by Tekton are caimed to be the same Wilders. FWIW
They are made in the USA so they may be. Worth a look anyway it might be a high end tool for short money, a real sleeper.
Yes I see that now, your probably right but for $10 made in USA might be worth getting even if its just for having drawer for use in the house.
Wilde has two plier designs now. They have the new flush fastener design and they still offer the old bolted design like the Tekton pliers listed above.
The Tekton pliers listed above are made by Wilde.
Both designs are shown on their website:

Looks like a deal for a 10 spot.
Before I retired from aviation I used safety wire pliers daily. I now use them around the house and garage about once a week and just as much, if not more, than most other pliers.
Safety wire that's a neat looking. tool. I adapted many things from past careers around the house. I was in my shed working and I picked up a small pair of regular slip joint pliers. I must have gotten them when my sibs and I cleaned out the old homestead. As soon as they were my hand ,they were a tad heavier than expected and had a bright finish UT TI CA in 3 diamonds. I lash a lot of things with lashing cord instead of cable ties. Good to hold a chair together whilst the glue sets.

Have you ever found a good reversible pair? The mechanisms seem to break every 6mo or so for me.
