    For those asking if they're any good . The side cutters in particular are not for professional use or any heavy duty activity to be honest, theyre good as a spare but certainly for snipping wires up to around 1.5mm fairly easily, they are more than adequate, same goes for the long nose pliers but they're often used for fastening or loosening & some cutting .
    I have done a small test on them all, cutting 2.5mm cable and compared them to my main pliers Minotaur VDE £12, and also a pair of Amtech, £5 ,the Lidl cutters came in last , due to the cut pressure required & discomfort to hand, there appears to be some minor wear to the lidl cutter as shown in close up photo, but as mentioned its more suited to smaller lighter & stranded cables.

    I got some aldi pliers in the past that were terrible at snipping wires. I could see dents in the snipping edges after cutting wires, and it didn't cut clean because of this.
    Are these ones any better quality? (edited)

    Are these any good? Last time they were 2.99 and were not that good.
