A set is bought for the plier types it contains rather than the count. A four piece set of the right types beats an eight piece set carrying three duplicates and a plier that is never opened, so the contents list is what is read rather than the number on the box. Duplicates in a set are also the pliers that never leave the tray.
Most sets are built round a working combination rather than a size ladder. A combination plier, a long nose and a side cutter together cover grip, reach and cut, which is the spread most jobs actually need from a plier set. Sets built round a size ladder exist too, but they suit one plier type rather than a spread of work.
The case is what decides whether a set stays a set. A foam tray holds each plier in its own recess, so a missing one shows immediately and the tray goes into a drawer. A belt pouch does the opposite, keeping the pliers on the person rather than in a bench. A tray also lets the set be checked in a moment before it is put away.
Specialised sets go further. An auto locking plier set covers holding at several jaw sizes, and a crimp assortment at 9 pieces pairs the tool with the wire ferrules it forms rather than leaving those to be sourced separately.
