Curator's pick: 9.5 Inch High Leverage Lineman's Pliers
The pivot point is set closer to the cutting edge than standard brands, which actually makes a difference at the end of a long day when your grip strength is failing. The 13 AWG solid copper puller behind the joint is the specific feature that replaces three other tools in my bag.
⚠ Worth knowing: These pliers come with a stiff factory joint that requires a focused break-in period with light machine oil before they drop open with one hand. Also, the high-leverage design means the handles have a wider spread than cheap alternatives, which can be awkward if you have smaller hands.
