    Maybe good for like carrying around in a truck or on a quad or something to save space. That's about all I'd see it good for.

      That is defiantly, Christmas present material. I can think of several people who never use their tools who would think that was a fantastic tool. I'll have to grab my 20 percent off coupons and do some early Christmas shopping. Thanks for the idea.

        It looks to be a solution in search of a problem.

          That's a copy (big surprise!) of an expensive knipex set. I don't know why/who needs it though. The last thing I want to do is fumble around with multiple parts when I just want to cut some wire.

            Wow.....there aren't words to describe how bad I don't wont those. I would be stuck looking for the one pair I needed and couldn't find, and I can't imagine they work all that well. But, Bill has a great idea with Christmas stuff for those who are mechanically deficient and will think is a great gift

              Guarantee the first part that would automatically be lost would be the handle.

                It would be even slicker if, to make the change in the jaws, you needed... wait for it... another set of pliers...

                  I agree. All it really needs is a presentation box with a felt lining.

                    Those look like an old Gerber tools pair, I have for the truck. I don't have all the jaws, and there have been times when the wire cutters would be handy.

                      Great idea, think I can sell those on e-bay for $29.00 each?

                      Tools sold separately, shipping and handling extra, your choice of finish, just buy what you want at the store and do it yourself product pictured may not look anything like what you get.....

                        Seems a bit kooky when for $2 less you can get 4 more plierses. And if it's similar to their changeable head retaining ring pliers, there'll be a lot of wobble between handle and head.

                            I hate it when I don't have room for handles. Handles jut get in the way.
