This is the two piece XL Needle Nose Pliers Set – Part #’s 28 71 280 and 28 81 280
They are light, compact and have well-aligned jaws. The grips are decent but probably best suited for those who wear size M gloves or smaller.
I think these can be excellent needle-nose pliers if they are used for their intended purpose(s). Problem is, many North American mechanics tend to use their needle nose pliers for hose clamps and other neanderthal things – which these pliers fail miserably at.
I know I risk sounding like a Snap-On fanboy for saying this, but the Snap-On Talon Grip Needle Nose pliers are much more effective for “typical automotive needle-nose plier situations.” They simply grip better.
So, these are going in my back-up roadside tool kit. If anyone is interested in buying them, send me a PM.
