"Box Joint Versus Lap Joint Pliers
Most pliers are constructed with either box joints or lap joints to hinge
and fasten the two halves of the pliers together. You will usually find
that lesser quality budget pliers use a lap joint because their cheaper
and easier to manufacture. Box joint pliers will always outlast and
outperform lap joint pliers and are therefore a far superior type of
pliers to choose for your jewellery making. Box joint pliers should
retain precise alignment and experience no looseness or side play always
open and close smoothly due to their joint construction. Lap joint pliers
on the other hand tend to wear very quickly which will result in the
pliers becoming loose and wobbly over time."
