GEARWRENCH 8" Pitbull K9 V-Jaw Dual Material Tongue And Groove Pliers - 82168C Review

No problems at all with these so far. Received this and hubs immediately exclaimed that this was way better than the tools like these he had in his work truck (he is a truck driver) and he took it out to the truck and put the previous tool in a bin somewhere. Love the handles on these. The metal is strong. The grip is tight. These are really high quality. Very impressed and so was hubs (and that is hard to do). No regrets. A winner. Would look to this brand in the future.

I’ve wanted to organize and clean out the garage for years, and the pandemic provided me the time to make significant progress. This has included going through pieced together tools and replacing well-used or lower quality items. I have an old pair of 6” red-handled pliers that have survived years of use, but the plastic-coated handles are deteriorating. When I saw the GearWrench 82175C 8” pitbull dual-material slip joint pliers, made in Vietnam and finished in Mainland China, I quickly chose…

I haven't had a chance to actually use these yet, so these are just some first impressions:I chose this slip joint plier mainly because of the "flush rivet" joint and the good reviews here (including those that mention the "soft" pliers that are part of the molded handle). I'm hoping the flush rivet joint will not be subject to the loosening that I occasionally encounter on pliers with a simple screw style joint. Hopefully the rivet joint will hold up. The tool feels solid and the end of the…

They seem to be pretty nice. There’s a little bit of side to side movement to them but they should work fine on light jobs. Thanks for attention.

Quality made and really shows it . Fit and finish is apparent at first sight. Buy for quality, not for price. Those who always buy the cheapest are always buying. You can count on that for sure.

My husband has been pretty happy with these. They seem well made. They have yellow and black handles, which make them easier to see when searching through tools. They have an anti-slip feel to them, too.

GEARWRENCH 12" Pitbull K9 V-Jaw Dual Material Tongue and Groove PliersAs I always do when I see a tool offered, I ask my husband if he wants it, but I knew he’d want this one. I got this for my husband as a replacement for a similar K*ipex brand one that he lost this past summer. After using it a few times this past week, he says it works great and was able to tightly grip a rounded-off bolt head, and also a stubby 3/4" pipe coupling. The teeth really bite into the material so well that you…

This is a nice 12” tongue and groove pliers, especially for the price. The handle has an average feel, and the plier head is somewhat short, but overall appears to be a high quality tool.The parent company of Gear Wrench is Apex Tool Group, which is headquartered in Taiwan and has a long history of making quality hand tools. In fact, this is also the parent company of Crescent tools and Xcelite tools.
