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

Great price for a great product

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.

Made like they have always been made. High quality. Do what they were meant to do. Have one in my jeep, my car, one in each motorcycle, and usually carry a spare in my pocket.

I needed some window cranks and I decided to improvise. I like the size for the short radius that was needed. Now I have something usable when they are no longer serving the purpose that they were purchased for.The tool works like it should, is well constructed and holds nicely. The price is a little high, but other than that, no complaints here.

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!

The order is for mechanics that I have hired. I keep a pair of them in my pocket and they have got me out of many jams without running to the toolbox

This little dude did the JOB.The wheel to my cheapo mower fell off. The little retaining clip that was supposed to hold the wheel on was SOMEWHERE in my yard. Where? Who knows? I couldn't find a replacement part online.But I could find a vise grip. This one did the trick. The size was just right so that I could still get pretty close to the landscaping without knocking the vise grip off the mower. And it held tight for an entire season.

Oh wow - these are smaller than my other little one - but they are perfect to go into my tire plug kit. I was going to put my old one into my tire plug kit - but this one is even better. I'm going to order another one because I'm setting up a tire plug/pump kit for my fiancee.Okay, this is weird - but this thing is so small it's actually cute.
