8" Z2 K9 Straight Jaw Dual Material Tongue and Groove Pliers - RTZ28CG

I have been using certain tools a long time and don't see a lot of point in reinventing tools that work. That being said, I love these pliers over my old slip-joints! The jaws are thinner for easy access in tight spaces. The grips are very comfortable. The grind on the teeth is precise and sharp, compared to cheaper tools that have less precise grinds and "dull" teeth that don't grip well. The slip joints are precise alsom so there is not a lot of "slop" in the adjustments. Love these pliers.
