As the picture shows, these are quality made tools. But they are too small to hold. About 1/4th the size of normal needlenose pliers. [From Beadaholique: Thank you for your feedback regarding this item. As indicated in our title with the 3-inch size mentioned in the description, this is a micro mini set ideal for travel, craft shows, emergency repairs, and on-the-fly customization for clients. While some beaders may find this size ideal, we understand that those with larger hands may not be a good fit for this set.]
