Excel Pliers,5" Curved Nose

I got this pliers having high expectations, consider it as a good quality tool, possibly misguided by the photos. The tool come with a different type of mechanism for keeping it open. Instead of the spring depicted, there are two metal pieces that create the spring action. However, the metals quite often misaligned and their function is inhibited, not only not functioning as expected but also make it difficult to use it. I always end up thinking what's wrong with the spring mechanism. The inner jaws are flat, in contrast with what depicted, and each jaw seems like being of different size. The handle is black. My overall impression is that it is a low quality tool and for the price you might want to consider something else.
