It's not just your imagination; many of the items we use in everyday life are getting smaller - electronics, cell phones, mechanical components - which means for more effective use, our tools need to shrink, too. This diagonal cutting pliers is one of our favorites: excellent design and build quality from hardened tool steel with great features like comfort grips and spring-action jaws that reduce finger and hand stress. An outstanding value and a great choice for wide-ranging applications at work, home and hobbies. Also available in 6-1/2" size.
