And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

You'd be hard pressed to find four more useful tools
At Harbor Freight I picked up some needle nose plies with an extra long nose, not spendy so I bought several and keep one in each vehicles tool bag. Every now & then they pay for themselves.
Depends how much you use them, and what for. The channellocks and nippers last a very long time, never jam and don't get dull easily cutting wire. The needle nose doesn't bend out of shape as easily becuase the steel is higher strength and material toughness. Not true of the H.F. stuff, but sometimes it's smarter to buy the H.F. stuff all the same.
OK, the needle nose and the sidecuts are great tools. The slippinjaws not so much (of any make) and the old school two position pliers, well, I don't even have a single one of them in MY toolbox. I see them as housewife tools. But that's just me.
Too rich for me
