IRWIN VISE-GRIP Original Locking Pliers, Long Nose, 4-Inch (1602L3), 100mm

good quality but small

Handy as a shirt pocket. Knipex might be better, these are entirely adequate and solid price point.

Needed one of these to remove a stripped out cross tip screw on a sensor on my car that was in a very tight place with very little room to manipulate. (Damn those engineers!) I had to file down the tips to a point a bit so I could fit it in that tight spot to bite on the screw head and the metal held up in strength despite me removing some material. Ended up changing out those cross tip screws for socket head ones. Tiny but tough, sharp teeth, worth it’s price!

This is a great little tool with a few considerations other buyers need to make. Mine have aligned jaws, everything functions really smoothly, and for SMALL tasks, I love them. Even the wire cutters work great, and that surprised me. However, with some of the other reviews, I think it's important to note who this is for. They're 4 inches long. Actually about 5 from end to end, but I don't know what points the brand is counting toward its length. So, they are a bit small for large hands, and the smooth (high-quality) finish will slip in your hand a bit. Certainly not something you want to work with all day in a shop environment. However, they still work great. There's a hex hole on the bolt to let you really clamp down on things, but at this size, I don't think that is something most people will use often. The tasks these excel at don't require THAT level of grip. Still, I like having the option if necessary. Because of their size, the jaws also aren't going to accommodate nearly as much as their larger counterparts. You certainly won't be clamping onto plumbing pipes. They open impressively wide, but you won't have much leverage due to how short they are, and the handle maxes out its width when you do open them all the way up. So, it becomes even harder to hold them in that position. With that being said, I think they're perfect for an EDC plier. They're small, high-quality, and extremely versatile. They're just not going to do what a lot of tradesmen want Vice Grips to do outside of very niche applications. At least, they won't do it comfortably. This is a great needle nose plier for the at-home guy who wants to carry it for EDC or handle 99% of pliers and clamping tasks around the house. I did remove a star for one minor problem. The handle attached to the lower jaw is not pinned perfectly tight. So, that shorter handle wobbles slightly until the tool is clamped. It's not bad or extremely noticeable, and it doesn't affect its functionality, but it's a small detail that could have been fixed just by pressing the pin a little harder during manufacturing, and it would have felt absolutely rock solid.

Vice Grips are a good tool and this one is like the bigger brothers but small enough to keep nearby and easy to get in small places. I'm so happy I bought this and use it all the time.

I bought these specifically to block off fuel lines while changing fuel filters on lawnmowers and tractors.

I love this little Vice Grip needle nose. Definitely will handle when need arises.

Tiny but capable, these vise-grips have stood the test of time since 1924. The 4 inch variety are special in that they'll fit into a pocket or backpack so you'll never even know they're there, but operate at near-full-size to handle emergencies and day-to-day problems. Great tools! This one, (4LN) has the long thin jaws that can get into deep places and grab onto smaller objects. It's like having a functional jewel in your hand.

buena calidad si la usas para el tamaño que son llego rapido y en perfactas condiciones muy buena compra

Tool is outstanding. Couldn't be without it. Made by a reputable company. Others the locking (clamping) mechanism would not stay locked.

Worth the price. We'll made tool! This helped me remove the stripper brake pad axle screw. Didn't have to resort in drilling

携帯型の工具として購入しました。 小さくて可愛いので愛でてしまい、 カバンに仕舞うまで 少し時間がかかりました。
