Product review (2 stars): Buy this if you foresee having to replace the washer's gasket/boot more than once in its lifetime.
I'm sure these are fine if you have an LG washer. This is the third gasket we've had to replace on the washer. Couldn't bring myself to hire a plumber for $300+. I made the mistake of thinking these would also work for a Maytag. Sadly, they were of no use.
But why are these pliers so expensive?!?!! I should have bought the tension expander tool for $32.
