The pliers have plenty of patina, but the cutters are nice and sharp. I used a pair similar to these in my 39-year career as a lather and ceiling grid installer. Maybe someone can use them, thanks for looking. I do not have a long list of harsh rules, just good, honest ebay selling. I do combine shipping. Please ask any questions, I will answer them all. I pack carefully and ship fast. I will promise you this, that you will never see my feet or dirty fingernails in any of the pics. International sellers please message me for a shipping quote. Thanks for looking.
