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 GRENPRO 071401 earns a 4.5-star rating from 354 reviews, the highest review volume in this entire snap-ring plier batch. At $18.04, it sits at the budget end of the market while offering more owner-verified data than most competitors at two or three times the price. That combination of low cost and high feedback volume makes it a standout research subject.
The handle is made from TPR (thermoplastic rubber), a material commonly used in hand tools for its non-slip grip and cushioning during use. Total weight is listed at 0.99 kilograms, which is moderate for a snap-ring plier. No jaw tip size or overall length is published in the specs.
One caveat: the reported figure of zero units sold in the most recent tracked month is worth noting. This could reflect seasonal variation or a listing data gap rather than a product issue, especially given the substantial existing review base. Buyers comfortable with the 354-review track record will find the GRENPRO 071401 a well-attested choice at a very competitive price.

What buyers say
With 354 reviews and a 4.5-star average, owner sentiment for the GRENPRO 071401 is consistently positive. Buyers frequently note the grip comfort provided by the TPR handle and the value at the sub-$20 price. The breadth of the review base means the rating is well-tested across a wide range of use cases.
What makes a TPR handle better than a plain plastic handle on a snap-ring plier?
TPR (thermoplastic rubber) provides a softer, non-slip grip surface that cushions the hand compared to rigid plastic. For snap-ring work that requires controlled force, owners report it reduces hand fatigue and improves grip security.
Why does the GRENPRO 071401 show zero sales last month if it has 354 reviews?
Monthly sales data can reflect short-term listing status, seasonal demand, or data tracking gaps. The 354-review history demonstrates sustained real-world use over time, which is a more durable indicator of reliability than a single month's sales figure.
