What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these locking pliers for exceptional grip strength and reliable clamping performance, with most highlighting their ability to lock firmly on stripped screws, rusted nuts, and irregular surfaces where other tools fail. Reviewers consistently emphasize durable, heavy-duty construction and solid feel, with many noting they've used these tools for decades. The needle-nose and long-nose variants are frequently commended for accessing tight, confined spaces like behind sinks or on modern equipment. A few customers report inconsistent quality or small handles for larger hands, but overall, most consider these indispensable tools for both professional and DIY work.

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 RecommendKnob 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.
