PLIERS - CAR KITS.

We are returning to you herewith the sample 6" pliers submitted by Peter Stubbs Ltd.,. We do not like these pliers much as our present standard. The sharp ends on the handle ends are very unpleasant in use and the fulcrum pin is not sufficiently free making the rather difficult to use. In addition the wire cutting device is not so good and they are more bulky and heavy. We should not like to include them in our kit.
