Kennedy KEN-558-7290K Rating

4.0 out of 5

While two tools for just under £15 doesn’t seem great value, these are second only to the Vise Grips in the quality stakes. The jaws are well shaped, perfectly formed, and the larger tool opens up to 44mm. The adjuster remained smooth even after our grip tests, and the wire cutter chewed through our thick test cable effortlessly.
