I had someone steal some of them and I couldn't remember for the life of me where I ordered or got these from.
Now I gotta order another set because some douche stole the ones I needed most.
I am a beginning jewelry maker, and these tools are perfect for what I was looking for. They are small enough to work well with linked chains and beads. I use the two teethed pliers the most, and having misplaced them realize how much better they are then my regular household pliers (which is what I'd been using pre-kit). The set includes two teethed pliers (one with a curved nose), non-tooth (smooth) pliers, a wire cutter and a wire bending tool. I'm very happy with this set, and if I can't find my two favorite pliers soon, will order it again!
I am beginning to dabble in jewelry making and this is a great set for beginners and beyond. I was not sure which tools I will need and how to use them, so I did not want to buy tools at a craft store like Michaels. Additionally, each tool at Michaels costs a lot more.
Out of these five, I use the wire cutter and flat pliers the most, but the rest come in handy too. One thing that would make this set way better, would be a carrying case or some kind of storage case.
P.S. The only other tool I had to buy in addition to this kit was wire looping plier.
So far they're going good... They are not very springy ....but they are still well worth the price.
Good Quality set. typical Chinese stuff. don't expect to hand it down to your children

Description
Set of 4 jewelry pliers with soft comfortable grips simplifies detailed or meticulous tasks. Use for a variety of jewelry making projects or other small, detail intensive hobby projects.

Measures approximately 6-1/2 by 3 by 1 inches each.
I purchased these tools to replace some jewerly making tools that I had lost. I think that they are a good starter kit for anyone who is thinking on getting into jewelry making. I think the only thing that I wish that was included was a set of flat soft nosed pliers. Other than that I can't think of any other tool you might need to start.
Love these! Anything I have bought from Darice is of higher quality. This was an excellant price for an excellant product! I highly recommend diy jewelers, especially newbies, to purchase your materials, especially plyers, from here.
I don't use them for jewelry, although I imagine that they would be perfect for that as well. I use them every day for normal everyday operations -- tightening nuts, holding screws still while I tighten said nuts....whatever you would use normal pliers for and they have the added protection of being pink and will not end up in the husband's tool box.
I am a beginner to wire wrapping and making my own jewelry. These are the perfect set for beginners, every tool that you need in order for you to create. Grips are also very comfortable. Very useful and nice.
Great set overall, but they rust easily. I spilled some coffee on my desk, which included a set of these pliers. I rinsed them off and left them to dry and the next day they were rusted.
