Review on πŸ”§ IRWIN Tools VISE-GRIP Original Locking Wrench with Wire Cutter: Item #8 - Versatile and Reliable Tool for Secure Gripping and Cutting by Kyle Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Enormous time savings!

Four decades ago, I tripped over a horribly frozen brake nipple on a 1977 Datsun. Since then I've spent many hours breaking them, breaking the easy exits, setting the calipers on fire, drilling the calipers off axis and replacing them. I was dreading changing the brake lines on an old Ranger and someone suggested I try this tool. I sprayed on a Kroil fitting, clamped it, and removed the rusty fitting in under a minute. Don't let the small size fool you. It's tiny so you can fit it in tight spaces like most brake fittings. He has enough leverage to make what is often a full-time job a breeze. This is an amazing tool.

Pros
  • Protected trigger ensures quick firing and prevents accidental firing.
Cons
  • boring packaging
