Review on πŸ”’ 12L3 IRWIN VISE-GRIP Locking Pliers Set - Large, 12-Inch by David Estevez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Difference in tool quality

I wanted to test a Pittsburgh wrench with an oil filter locking handle but instead Revain took me here and didn't bother to warn me, issued an Emtor warning. I have both Pittsburghs back to Revane. The Pittsburg has about a 1/4" set screw and the Irwin 3/8 has heavier Irwin stuff, so get that or an Irwin 9" chain clamp, 27ZR, or both. I have been buying hand tools for over fifty years and understand the quality and it seems that the older tools were better made. Irwin is a very good tool and worth having. In the Pittsburgh reviews, I only noticed two reviews that mentioned a real quality issue.

Pros
  • Pliers
Cons
  • Available in white only
