The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Lang 3495 has racked up 1,224 reviews at a 4.5-star average, the highest review count of any snap-ring plier in this lineup. At $113.10 it sits in the middle of the price range, below the premium KNIPEX option but above most budget picks.
It has a plastic handle and weighs 2 pounds. That combination of moderate weight and a plastic handle is typical for this category, and Lang backs it up with strong review numbers rather than a premium material story.
With 100 units bought in the past month, it is selling at a healthy clip, and the sheer volume of reviews gives buyers a large sample size to trust the rating.
