Clarke PRO97 5-Piece Professional Pliers Set review

One of those indispensable tools that any self-respecting home mechanic should have, either in their workshop or garage, is a decent, quality assortment of pairs of pliers. Many of us make do with a couple of old pairs that have lost their smooth action or aren’t really up to the job and every time we need them, we vow to get something better. 

Which is where Machine Mart can come to the rescue with this quality set of five different types of pliers, all contained in a smart case and, best of all, all for just £23.98. 

The Clarke PRO97 5-Piece Professional Pliers Set, is available from tool specialists Machine Mart both through their UK-wide network of retail stores and online and is also an award winner, gaining an Auto Express ‘Recommended’ accreditation in May 2024. 

Specifically, the set comprises: a pair of traditional 179mm (7inch) combination pliers, a pair of 152mm (6inch) long nose pliers, another pair of long, 254mm (10inch) water pump pliers, some 152mm (6inch) side cutters plus, finally, a set of 152mm (6inch) stripping pliers. All have red insulated handle grips for added comfort and protection, and come complete in a smart, zippered storage case. 

They’re smart, sturdy, have a quality feel, cover nearly all eventualities and the case is a welcome bonus. Best of all, to repeat, the Clarke PRO97 set costs just under £24, meaning that each pair costs less than £5. 

Even better, according to the many positive reviews left by buyers on the Machine Mart website, others are impressed by the set, too. 

Marc posted: “Great bit of kit and good value for money.” 

While Chris added: “Great set, comes in handy case, good value.”
