    Hey guys. I have been trying to find a set of ball link pliers that does not completely SUCK! I have tried Align, Mavrikk, HeliMax, and a few others, and I am really frustrated with the quality (or should I say lack of) of the ones I have tried.

    What brand are you guys using? I saw a set of JR link pliers on Experience RC, which looked decent...but they are $50....YIKES!

    Any input you all could give to point me in the direction of a good set, would be most appreciated. :)

      Oh sweet.. thanks for the reply :) I saw these on a couple of sites, but wasn`t sure of how they would be. From the photo, they look like the tip is tapered..which would make them stronger. I may give these a try. :)

      Best pliers are the ones from FBL Rotors, very strong and will never bend or break

      No worries. You won't regret purchasing a set, one of those life long tools that you just don't get rid off.

      I went with the FBL Rotors pliers for my own use, and a revolution set to keep as a loaner set. :)

      Oh no mate, no need. It was just a heads up to allow for the exchange rate. it may be a tad less. It will depend on the day the order is completed.
