I have used this tool for years in the lobstering business,years back we used to get a long time out the this tool cutting small stainless steel hog rings ,the worst that would happen was they would dull over a long time,channel lock far exceeded their competitors tool,today I am sorry to say that the metals put into this tool are not of the same grade they once were,when doing the same cutting we have always done in the past ,the "New " pliers break apart on the edges ,something we never saw before.The only good thing is that you may be able to return for other pairs if they still have the total satisfaction guarantee.
I just bought a new pair and do not expect them to last very long .

Channellock comes through again, as I can't say enough for the utility of this 358 plier/nipper. My main use is renovation. When I go into a home, for example, that has an unfinished basement, for some reason there are always thousands of nails in the joists -- who does that! But these 358 nippers can either snip a nail head flush with a wall, ceiling, baseboard, floor, or joist, or it can effortlessly extract it by rolling it out. You'll never want to use a hammer to extract a nail again since this 358 plier rolls the nail out without marking the face of the board or wall. Also, its handles are curved so that all four fingers can apply equal pressure, giving you more torque. Another use is to cleanly shape material, corners, and edges. I can enlarge a wallboard cutout for an electrical outlet in a precise way rather than using a ziptool or using a clumsy hand saw. No matter what, make sure you have this tool in your belt.
