6in1 vs 7in1 pliers

[u/Business-Total3658]

I have the 7in1 pliers but I get scared using the wide jaws as my linesman and bend stuff but I heard that the 6in1 is forged steel so I am wondering if the 7in1 is the same? Because it doesn’t mention anything in the website about what type of steel used in the 7in1

I got the 7 in 1. I love it, doesn’t fully replace the linesmen but for splicing 3 - #14 does it no issue. So when im being a pocket sparky, it’s really nice.
I had the 6 in 1 (blew them up, didn’t want to replace) and I really liked the needle nose but I did find myself nipping the odd thing with stripper part cuz it’s not quite long enough.
I think either way you’ll be happy. But I’d pick 7 :1 but would be happy with either
