Review on 🔧 Irwin Vise-Grip PowerSlot Diagonal Cutting Pliers (1902412) for Precise and Effortless Cuts by Mike Malvo

These pliers were made by NWS in Germany especially for Irwin. While Knipex is the best known German company for making very high quality pliers, NWS makes the same high quality steel and arguably makes some of the best cutting tools in the world. They're also known for having some of the most comfortable grips in the business. I believe that Irwin and NWS ended their partnership, probably because the cost of these tools did not match the cost of typical Taiwanese consumer tools. who embody much of Irvine's cast. You can still see the NWS influence on the grips when they have the newer and cheaper Vice-Grip pliers. However, make no mistake. Made in Germany, these Vice-Grip Max pliers are of absolute professional quality. My 6" pair has the strongest bits I have of a comparable size, but the tips are very precise. I ran them through the ring but the fine teeth are still as crisp as when purchased. If you want/need some quality 6 inch needle nose pliers you can't do better than these.
