IRWINVISE-GRIP Pliers, V-Jaw, 10-Inch, Press & Slide Button, Anti-Pinch, Anti-Slip (2078110)

I recently added the IRWIN VISE-GRIP 10-Inch V-Jaw Pliers to my toolbox, and they have quickly become a favorite. The press-and-slide button makes it incredibly easy to adjust the width of the opening, allowing for quick and precise sizing to fit various tasks. While you can effortlessly slide to reduce the grip as needed, there’s absolutely no slippage like you might experience with cheaper or other pliers.The anti-pinch and anti-slip features are a significant upgrade, providing both safety and efficiency during use. The build quality is robust, and I can tell these pliers are built to last—I anticipate using them for a long time. I’m so impressed that I’m likely to purchase multiple sizes to complete my set.

The Short: Great pliers with an adjustable click-lock system and the sort of gripping power that'll make the Hulk jealous. For most household jobs, look no further.Look, I'm no handyman. But, every dude needs to have an outlet to feel like a boss in front of their family when they're in need. We just moved into a new place and our bathtub's drain was clogged and, glory hallelujah, the stopper that should've easily twisted off was rusted in place. No matter how much I twisted and tried, it was immovable.Enter IRWIN.This bad boy has some serious edge to it (pun intended). The grooves grip so nicely that for a moment I thought there was a secret adhesive embedded in the grooves (clarification: there is no adhesive, these pliers are just that awesome). I had absolutely no problem getting the stopper off. Heck, the job was so easy that I felt compelled to find other things to twist off in the house just to feel accomplished.Did I mention, the clicking adjustment system is awesome? I've worked with other traditional pliers that take some work to adjust, but IRWIN's clicking system is well worth the money. I'm actually surprised that they don't charge a few more bucks for having something that stands out against its competitors. The click keeps my setting in place and doesn't budge as I'm doing the job.Point is, if you're in need of great household pliers, these will do more than fine. As I mentioned in the title, there's a reason The Sweethome picked these as their go-to pliers. I don't do industrial jobs so I'm not sure how they'd hold up against larger needs and jobs. But, if I can come out as the hero in my family, you'd be surprised what the IRWIN GrooveLock Pliers can do for yours.

Great pliers! I've had them four years now. Adjustable, sturdy, you can really bear down on them if needed, and the way they're angled makes them easy to use and apply torque.

I almost bought the Knipex Cobra pliers but didn't want to pay double for the same features, including the lock button. I've used this on several projects and I'm kicking myself why I didn't buy this tool years ago. It works seamlessly to pull or twist anything and has never disappointed me. I used other non locking pliers and they've never been my 'go to' tool because they are non-locking. These Irwin Vice grip pliers have quickly become one of my top five tools I own.

High quality wrench!

I got these after I borrowed a larger pair from a co-worker and saw how easily they adjusted and how well they gripped pipe. They have become my go-to channel locks.The angle of the head is great for most jobs, and the offset angular design of the teeth not only improves their grip on black pipe, but it improves their ability to clamp down on square nuts and bolts and gas valve bodies. The push button release makes it easy to change the width of the jaw opening quickly and securely.Durability has been good as well. The jaw locking mechanism has shown no signs of failure and the teeth are still in great shape after hard use. One of the rubber pads on one of the handles has begun to separate a bit along the seam, but that has not been a real problem and could easily be fixed if I felt like fixing it.Overall, I would highly recommend adding these to your tool bag. They are strong, reliable, and inexpensive. Money well spent.

This brand is all I use, reliable.
