I just got a brand new copy from eBay, and the plier jaws don't close all the way. The plier handle hits the body of the tool before the jaws close all the way. That means they cannot cut wires (or fishing line) either. That's a BIG problem. There are some other minor niggles I don't like about the tool (poorly placed nail nick for the main blade and useless file), but the big problem is the useless wire cutters and jaws that can't grasp thin items. Should I attempt to send this back? Or is this common?Charles.
Used my Marbles pliers today for some minor electronics work. Lead bending, and cutting. Very minor, but it was a pleasure to use it. I do really like this tool, even with its QC issues.Charles.
