Halfords’ 10-pc plier/wrench set

Price: £14.99 Included: 175mm long nose, 185mm and 220mm curved jaw

After recently winning our pliers sets test (Issue 1,014), this product doesn’t fare quite so well when the three locking pliers are put under the microscope on their own. Ultimately, all three work pretty well. But poorly shaped curved jaws and rough adjusters let the side down. The tools are also too narrow to be clamped comfortably.
