Pliers test

Date: May 2008

While the Clarke package looks great on the shelf, it loses its appeal as you explore further. A temperamental zip made it difficult to get the case open, and the cut-outs in the foam are an extremely poor fit. The three main pliers and wire strippers work fine, but the handles and stiff pivots let them down. Also, the water pump pliers bent during our tests.
