The name Sidchrome doesn't mean anything anymore unless you specify when it was made. For example, my Dad has a nice pair of Sidchrome pliers that he bought about 10yrs ago. They have been used a fair bit but are still in top working order because they are nicely made with good steel.

Now, I liked them and decided to buy a pair for myself. I took the serial number and picked up the same ones. When I sat the "new Sidchrome" next to the "old Sidchrome" I could see that the ones I had bought were badly finished, brushed instead of polished, crap chrome and the plastic had daggy bits from a crap mould.

You would expect the new pliers to be in better condition, better working order than the old ones. Not so.

Conclusion: Now that all Sidchrome stuff is made in Taiwan instead of the States like it used to be the quality has turned to shit. I have stopped buying Sidchrome because it is no longer great quality, its just expensive.
