    OK--that does not work either. Just google "XTREME 11PC PLIERS SET W/ MAGNETIC TOOL BAR"

    Anybody try this?
    I bought a Lowes set similar to this and found that the cutters didn't work well. The edges didn't mate up.
    I found a good test is to cut a piece of string.
    A good set of diagonal cutters will snap right through it.
    Poor sets always leave some strands that they can't cut.

    ^ Unless they're costly professional grade tools, I see large variances in the machining of the cutter blades on most if not all other brands. While cutting a piece of string will work, you can usually tell by just eyeballing them, whether there's much play in the joint, whether the edges line up perfectly, and holding them up to the light whether they are perfectly parallel without a gap where light gets through.

    If there is a gap sometimes you can correct that fault with a file or sharpening stone to reduce whichever section needs it to correct the alignment.
