Rusted so quickly!!!!!

I only had these 2 weeks, hadn’t used them yet, and kept them inside my garage. When I finally needed them, I was greatly surprised to find one of the handles completely rusted so badly you would have thought they sat outside in a rainy salty environment for 10 years!

Cheaply made junk

Would Not Recommend

Knob on the pliers was totally frozen - needed to break it loose with another pair of pliers! Then, the knob is covered in grease, and once I started operating the jaws back and forth, a ton of metal shavings came falling out! Seems like you just can't buy good tools anymore - what a joke! I will never buy Vise Grip / Irwin products ever again.
