What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these locking pliers for exceptional gripping power, solid build quality, and versatility. Most highlight the secure clamp that holds firm under pressure, even with stripped screws or stubborn nuts in confined areas. Many commend the durable construction and reliable performance across demanding tasks. The compact needle-nose design excels in hard-to-reach spaces, with wire cutters and carry case adding utility. A small number report inconsistent quality or difficulty releasing the grip, but these concerns represent a minor fraction. Overall, reviewers consider them indispensable tools.

Would RecommendPerfect size and shape for smaller jobs requiring narrow jaws and longer reach; well made
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!
Work great
Would RecommendGreat pair of locking pliers. Gets the job done as intended.

I had a broken carb bolt to remove perfect
Would RecommendTerrific locking pliers, small nose for short broken bolts
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.

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.
