A Deluxe Tinker handles the vast majority of what I need at present. Sure, the pliers don't replace a 4" pliers tool, but it handles pretty much everything I'd attempt with a LM Squirt or Gerber Dime, and with better knife, scissors and drivers too.

I haven't used the SwissChamps pliers yet for anything more than trying them out. Like you, I use pliers more than anything.

Ive definitely needed smaller pliers but my squirt has handled those tasks.

Good points and great discussion here folks - Thanks all   :tu:
I use them mainly as a grabbing tool ... for small things in small places

Ideal for small clasps,costume jewelry links
Yep, used them on these applications quite a few times with my wife’s jewelry.  Very handy for this.

Last time they saved me was a few months ago. We have a folding baby buggy that we keep in the car boot and a nylon strap got jammed in the mechanism so it wouldn’t open up. With the SAK pliers I was able to yank the strap out.
