Stanley Tools FatMax Compound Action End Cut Pliers

Nice and simple tool to my range. I bought these as they matched the plier set I had just bought.These replaced a old cheap pair that had no faces left and just usless. These feel tough and fit for all jobs, comfy in the had and well built.They are on the large side so a solid pair for all jobs, and will give a good leaver actionAdded piciture so you can see the size in my hand. Hope this is of use

I have a pair of pincers I inherited from my dad 40 years ago. They're small, all metal ones and I frequently pinch my finger between the handles when using them in tight spaces.Bought these in readiness for dismantling and re-assembling several pieces of flat-pack furniture having rear panels nailed on. They worked a treat, no pinched fingers now.Have to say that their wire cutting qualities far exceed my expectations, as witnessed by cutting the heads off several nails by accident, when trying to remove them!

I primarily need this to trim off some 3mm brass screws that were protruding through a shed door that I had repaired. Much easier than with a small angle-grinder or junior hack-saw.Well made and the extra torque from the ratio mechanism is worth having.Recommended.

The Good ;- good quality, strong and sturdy, stanly has definitely improved it’s game over the years.The Bad :- The only bad is that the size of the opening is a little restrictive. I purchased them to remove the buttons from jeans and they don’t go over the button. The largest button is only 17mm wide, so that though give you an idea of the opening. I shall clip the sides before removal and adapt to them but, I thought it was worth noting.

I can't really fault this. It's not at a premium or low cost, the head opening is a little bit smaller than I expected. You will find it easier squeezing this than the older traditional ones I've had. The handles are comfortable and long. I'm happy with it I use it for cutting and removing nails. Removing some of the wider rivit heads would be an issue, it had the juice to cut them but the head does not open as much as it would on the regular unit, buts that's to give you a better lever effect which it certainly does, you can't have it both ways. It will cut through staples very quickly as you are getting more force in the cut , a regular unit might be better for that

Great again, Fatmax👍

This is the product I was looking for, it meets my expectations, I recommend it.

Make better snips / cutters than pliers, I bought them to remove a great deal of fine nail gun nails on skirting boards, unfortunately they cut through more than they removed, good build quality, but better for larger nail removal.
