When the ad-men decided to call some steel alloys, "stainless," they were creating a marketing myth.
No alloy has every good attribute--some are better suited to one purpose or another.
More stain resistance means a harder metal which is more brittle.
496 pliers are quite stain resistant, made to last and with minimal care will last a long time.
Made in the USA
Unfortunately, not many things last forever, but these come close.
Take care of your pliers by rinsing in fresh water after using them in a salt environment.
Please note:  pliers in holster pix is another model.
