Fully featured and smooth
I've been using these a little over a month and I've been quite impressed. The crimper is a double crimper and works well. The jaw also grips well but isn't so rough as to tear up the jacketing of NMD wire. The built-in pipe reamer hasn't seen much action in pipe but has been used to clean out some knockouts and has worked well for that. Also, while some other reamers result in some sharp edges this plier is far more forgiving on the hands and fingers. The cutting edge also seems a touch longer than the previous linesmen pliers I've used. Not a huge advantage but the ability to cut that 1 extra cable is handy at times. They also seem to have really good leverage for their size.

MULTI TOOL
OK this is one of those tools that you find yourself grabbing for all the time. Its comfortable grips, powerful jaws that just beg for more.The built in grimper not to mention the file that is also on this to clean out an burs left over. It is a tool that you find more jobs to use it on because you can! plain and simple.

Nice all around tool
I was impressed with the tools overall size and weight for me the grips were a little thin but the excellent fishtape grabber more than makes up for it!They allow plenty of leverage to cut thick wire and the quality of the tool steel was everything you would see in a quality high-end tool.

Sturdy & Dependable
Since I bought my first South wire tools, I've been very pleased. My latest addition is no exception. Working in industrial maintenance, my job is very tough on tools and these pliers/cutters have withstood the harsh treatment. Very comfortable fit to the hand, makes using them enjoyable.

Heavy duty
These have good weight to them, make them great for hammering. The cutters are sharp and the front jaw teeth have good grip. I really grown to love these. The only thing I would change is the grip but other than that they are nice.

Well made!
I have had one of these before from a different brand and when it came to snipping to thicker wire etc. small bolts it didn't compare to this. This was a different level of quality on it's own. That's just being honest!

Solid pair of pliers
They work very well. They will cut through more than just wire. The grip is very good and the handle is long and stiff for good leverage. They open a little more stiff than I would like but not to bad.

Great Pliers
Have had and used my share of other brand lineman pliers and Southwires are just as good if not better. Cutting blades are strong and sharp, handles comfortable and provide great leverage.
