These Irwin Vise-Grip locking
pliers or commonly known by the brand name Vise-Grip function like ordinary
pliers but also as a wrench or welding clamp. The grip is extremely strong and works
well to remove stubborn nails or fence staples. The long, straight nose is
great for precision work and the guarded trigger release and hardened teeth is
great when working in narrow spaces, twisting, turning or clamping. The pliers
stay securely locked as long as needed and then are easily released with just a
touch. There is a turn-screw fine-tunes
pressure to fit work and stay adjusted for repeated use. The pliers measure 9" with a jaw
adjustment up to 2 7/8"; the jaws themselves are right about 1/8” wide and
the wire cutter is a handy touch. Overall
an impressive and very functional go-to hand tool.
