5 Stars
Long lasting high quality tool.
Bought these for a special project I was working on. They worked great and the quality was there. I looked at cheaper knock offs before purchasing and I don't regret getting these at all. The quality is way higher on this brand. I don't see any reason why this tool wont be around for a long time to come.
Thank you for your feedback
