You need a documented jaw length, tip profile or steel grade before you buy, since NEIKO publishes none of that here.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The NEIKO 02105A sits at $23.38 with a 4.5-star rating across about 1,500 reviews, one of the largest review counts in this needle-nose roundup. That volume signals years of steady buyer interest, even though Amazon logged no purchases in the last month.
Spec detail is thin. NEIKO lists a rubber handle and a weight of 1.18 kilograms, with nothing on jaw length, tip shape or steel type. The 1.18 kilogram figure reads high for a single needle-nose plier, so treat the published weight with caution.
At this price the draw is the cushioned rubber grip and the long review history rather than a documented spec sheet.
Pros
Large, mature feedback base of roughly 1,500 reviews at a 4.5-star average
Soft rubber handle for comfort during longer light-duty sessions
Mid-pack $23.38 price from a value-focused brand
Cons
No published jaw length, tip width or cutting-edge spec
Listed 1.18 kilogram weight looks high and may not be reliable
No purchases recorded in the last month despite the long review history

Performance notes
With only a rubber handle and an unverified 1.18 kilogram weight on the spec sheet, judge the 02105A on its 4.5-star, 1,500-review history rather than documented dimensions. The rubber grip suits light electrical, jewelry and hobby tasks; for precise tip or cutting work, pick a plier that actually lists those numbers.
What buyers say
The sheer review volume at 4.5 stars points to broad satisfaction for the money, with owners treating it as an inexpensive everyday plier. The absence of detailed specs and recent sales is the main reason it sits behind the higher-rated KNIPEX and Klein options here.
Does NEIKO list the jaw length or cutting capacity for the 02105A?
No. The listing only specifies a rubber handle and a 1.18 kilogram weight, with no jaw length, tip width or cutting-capacity figure.
Is the 02105A's 1.18 kilogram weight accurate?
We can only report the published number. At 1.18 kilograms it reads heavy for a single needle-nose plier, so confirm with the seller if exact weight matters to you.
