Review on πŸ”§ Irwin Vise-Grip MIG Pliers Review - 8-Inch (1873303) for Ultimate Efficiency by Andrew Kamkoff

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but mediocre quality hand tools

Disappointing quality for the price. The torch has a tiny nick/nick defect right on the hinge where the wire would normally fall. So to cut thin wire you need to place it in the dead center of the torch. Also, the nose isn't quite square. While this doesn't significantly affect functionality, it does give an indication of the quality of their manufacturing processes and quality control, or rather what Irwin considers to be 'good' quality tools. I haven't had a single problem with the cheap version of the Haphazard Freight which I previously bought for 1/3 the price but sadly lost. I was expecting a lot more at this price point as my old Irwin and Vice grip stuff is top notch.
