Hmm. Does ACE have things like safety wire pliers?

Check Sears.

Their website shows an SK pair for $84.99, or Craftsman 6 and 9 inch for
$99.99.

When my father was a salesman for SK back in the early 70s, they had a
lifetime guarantee. He also told me horror stories about Chineese tools.
Basically, they don't heat treat them enough, because it's a slow, expensive
process.
