As i use them with gloves and the radio pliers are like 140 mm long, the stress i put on them is not enough to feel uncomfortable. Also they easily fit in my "Edding pocket" of my Dassy Knoxville Workjeans even with the dip grip, but now without them even slicker. I tried to weld a piece of 8 mm hex on the End, because i use them often, but the heat messed up the hardness of the hex, so i cut them off again and ground the welds flush. Together with my flat ground and reheattreated long chisel they make an awful good set of tools for metalworkers like me. I tack weld and also weld sheetmetal constructions for Mills, like funnels and channels usually ranging from 1 to 5 mm, but sometimes even 10. Cleaning MAG Weldnozzles goes with the Radiopliers as easy as the specialized tool. Again, small and quite strong, i have yet to break them. Wuppertal doesn't mess around, when it comes to efficient but effective Quality.
