Which one should you buy?

Our top pick is the GEARWRENCH 6-piece Pitbull set for its high leverage cutting and aggressive grip, ideal if you want one kit that lasts decades. The WORKPRO 7-piece is the value pick, covering every common plier for well under $40 with nearly 18,000 reviews behind it. The cheapest of our headline trio is the CRAFTSMAN 3-piece at around $25, a smart starter set for a first toolbox.
