US Art Supply Iron Canvas Pliers, Dual Design with Hammer & Jaw Gripper

I've had these pliers for about two months, and while they've always done the job (until recently), they've never been great. The pliers themselves have razor-sharp jagged edges from the casting process that were never filed or polished for the final product. user. If you weren't careful, these points would jab and snag on your skin, drawing blood. Even these pitfalls seemed to pass me by while I was still able to use them effectively until the day I went to tighten a side of my canvas and one of the pieces snapped in half. And, just to be clear, this is after two months of light usage by myself. I would save your money and put it towards a higher-quality item.

Worst tool in the history of mankind. The first time I used it, it fell apart. I needed two and was looking for a good deal; however, I now regret taking the low-cost route. The whole thing is shaky, with a bad cast and a bad production. The first time any pressure was applied to the handle on one of them, it snapped. This is not something I would recommend spending your money on.

They aren't the prettiest pliers in the world, but they are incredibly durable.

I chose this plier because none of the other pliers' reviews appeared to be positive. I'm stretching a canvas for the first time, and these pliers aren't the best for beginners. Because they are heavy and lack a spring, using one hand while pulling the canvas with the other is difficult. It has all of the necessary components for a stretcher, but each side is almost cast, causing the jaws to tear a thin canvas (e. g. , a painting). , etc. ), particularly given its clunkiness. It did the job, but if you'll be stretching more than a few times, it's worth investing in a more refined tool.

I grabbed the webbing with the pliers, but one of the pliers' handles broke off as I squeezed them together to hold the webbing. I'm not referring to disintegration - The handle came off in a split second. It's total nonsense.

This is clumsy and simple, but it gets the job done. A return spring and a better finish would be nice, but the bells and whistles aren't absolutely necessary. It's too good to be true!.
