Where to find CHEAP packs (5-10 pcs) of electronics pliers?

[blueduck577]

Aliexpress is littered with these bulk packs of side cutters: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001309345186.html

I like them because they are cheap and if they break, no big deal.  I am trying to find bulk packs of needle nose electronics pliers similar to these.  I've been poking around for an hour with no luck.  Anybody have any leads?

For reference, I mean something like these:

I don't know what you mean by cheap, but try these:

I've bought a few of these: https://www.edsyn.com/product/CLEARCP/KP157.html
They're cheap and have thin noses. Handles aren't the best, but for the price I'll live with it.

Is it possible you are using the wrong tool for the job?

These sidecutters are made for thin copper wire only.

”Top” quality? Come on… much better ones exist. Sure, they cost a lot more, but they do exist.

Indeed.

OP, do you need bulk packs because you’re equipping multiple work spaces (like a classroom)?

And why does it matter if they’re bulk packed or not? Bulk packs don’t guarantee a price that’s lower than buying multiple singles.

"top aliexpress quality" I should have said...
