is all right
It would have been a whole lot better if you had to cut my credit off
Broken screws
Would RecommendThey lock on the smallest shoulders
Not too heavy.
Would RecommendI had a needle nose version that wasn't working for me. I use these only for stripped screws that are phiilips and somehow got mangled so i can clamp on an remove the screw, if even possible. Haven't really had to use it yet. Weight is acceptable.

Small vice grip

Would RecommendWork great in hard to reach areas.
Perfect tool for those tight spaces
Would RecommendThis was the perfect tool to grasp a hot water faucet stem and at the same time not destroy the flared end. This product served as a faucet until we found the correct stem and faucet.

Would Not RecommendLet’s see how the hold up Don’t appear as well made as my older ones
Hello LeoT97 and thank you for your feedback on the 1502L3 IRWIN VISE-GRIP 9-in Needle Nose Pliers. Your feedback is valuable as we take into consid...
Poor quality
Would Not RecommendI expected a quality product from Irwin but Vise Grips aren't what they used to be. These feel much poorer in quality than another pair of original Vise Grips that I purchased long ago. The anvils on these do not align (see picture). I have contacted Irwin, using the form at their website. No response to the form or to a follow up inquiry. Because the anvils don't align the grip on the object is poor and the Vise Grips pop off.
