Pliers, strippers and snippers

Here's the selection that I use regularly:

 

Clockwise from top left:

Strippers - a recent purchase.  Cheap, feel cheap, but work well.

Big pliers - Wickes special.  Good for big jobs or just weighting things down.

Needle-nose pliers - Good for bending loops in wire for turret soldering.  Stolen from my pal Tom who's now bought a replacement so I'm keeping them.

Draper multi-snippers / strippers / benders - over-engineered and overpriced.  I rarely use them.

Stripper / side cutters - crap for wire stripping and poorly made (this is the second set after one of the cutting blades sheared off the first one).  I've not found a better pair of light duty side cutters though.  Great for trimming components legs from PCBs when you want to get a really neat finish.
