Tool Review: Stanley 84-096 5" Needle Nose Pliers

I've always been impressed with Stanley hand tools. They look good, get the job done, and hold up well over time. The Stanley 84-096 Needle Nose Pliers are no exception.
They resemble many other pairs of needle nose pliers I've seen and used in appearance. However, their quality makes them stand above average needle nose pliers, and it's obvious once you use them. The jaws are long and the tips are tapered so you can use them in tight spaces, but the pliers are strong enough for more than just precision work. The spring tension is excellent. The handles are coated in a soft material that makes them easy to grip and prevents slipping. The teeth are strong and well-formed. Despite their strength and sturdiness, the pliers are very light -- much lighter than any other needle nose pliers I've ever held. These small, easy-to-use pliers get 4 out of 5 stars. They are above-average pliers that are typically sold for about the same price as average pliers. You can probably find these pliers most places that Stanley tools are sold. Amazon.com lists them for $3.89 right now (a good deal) and they are eligible for free shipping.
