IRWIN VISE-GRIP Curved Jaw Locking Pliers with Wire Cutter, 4-Inch (10)

This 4 inch ViseGrip fits in your pocket or that little zippered compartment on a backpack to wait for it's next job! So useful, this original style and design and not a knock-off with sharp edges and parts that aren't aligned. I have at least 7 other ViseGrips in various sizes and configurations, and this is the smallest one made, is actually CUTE but it will open and clamp on a 1/2 inch nut (3/4 inch or larger diameter!) I was looking for the one I've had for about 40 years and it seems to be hiding somewhere, so I bought 2, just like that one, but beautiful with no marks yet to show their experiences. Wouldn't you know it, Amazon showed me this 4 inch on the 1st try (when I thought it might not even be made any more...) IRWIN has continued this design as it was; The Original Design. I try to always have a ViseGrip somewhere close-by because this is a really good tool!

I’ve had lots of different brands of locking pliers. They are amazing tools and you would be hard pressed to find another sub-4 oz tool that is as useful as this one.

I misplaced my small vise grips from years ago (1980's). These are made in Taiwan and maybe the quality isn't the same, but at least they work better than similar stuff from HF. I am referring to how smoothly the screw adjust works and how well they keep adjustment. You'll find lots of uses. My daughter (long ago) used them to replace spikes in her track shoes. One use I have is to remove finishing nails from wood. My home is a log cabin and interior walls are white cedar T&G. It's almost impossible to remove boards without destroying them. These make it possible,

They are good. Much better than most. When they were simply called vice grips. I have had others that if something twisted that was clamped with these, they would get damaged. No such issue with these. Others have stated they are small, of course they are. They are 4 inches total length. You can probably put them in your palm and not even touch the end of your pinky finger, if so they shouldn't make it to your ring finger. They are designed for small jobs. If you are taking out bigger bolts or what ever, you will need the 7 or 10 inch. Probably the 7 inch but it's good to have both if you do stuff that needs something like this.

It is tiny, but bites like a vise grip should. I know these aren’t made in the USA anymore, but the quality is still good. Jaws: The jaws are cast metal and have aggressive teeth cut in them. However he last 1/4” of jaws are actually knurled. It appears to be pressed and no cast or cut in. The tops of the knurles are not exactly pointy, but they look inch sharper than I’m used to seeing on inexpensive tools these days. The body: The body is made of 1/8” (actually probably from 3mm) sheet metal. It still has the shear lines from the die, but For the price Irwin would go out of business trying to grind that out. It doesn’t matter that it’s there anyway. Other little parts: The adjustment screw is surprisingly smooth. Especially considering it’s threading into a tapped hole made of rolled sheet metal. The head has the cutout and marking for a 3mm hex. So I guess if it ever got stuck closed, you could reef on it with a hex key. The rivets and return spring are all bright chromed. Overall a great tool that bites hard; harder than expected from something so small. You may get laughed at, but the tiny vise grips you have are better than the larger ones you won’t carry. Would recommend.

Much better than the off brand I previously purchased.

These are nice and robust for such a small tool (3.45 oz 4.5 inches long) IF you get a good one. 1st pair (yellow card packaging) had really bad jaw alignment where only 1 corner touched so i returned it. Second pair (yellow card packaging) the cutters would not meet even when tightened all the way (see pic) so they were non functional so i will return. My third pair had different packaging (blue card) and was perfect. both made in Taiwan blue card was 2g heavier and has a bit different finish stamped "25J" so might be a new manufacturer, yellow card one was stamped "22J". These only make sense for little tool kits or edc. I'd buy the 5wr for a tool box it's about as small as you can go while maintaining a full grip.

Great pliers. I understand there are Chinese and Taiwanese made. The ones I got are made in Taiwan and the fit and finish are great, as good as the old US made ones.

Quality tool, feels very strong and well made. Must have if you like DIY

Muy fuertes y resistentes, prácticas y fáciles de usar.
