🔐 Grip-On 111-10 Curved Jaw Locking Pliers: Superior Grip for Versatile Applications Review

Vice Grips makes such lousy adjustable pliers that I paid way more for them. They are better than the Vice Grip brand. I don't know if they are much better for the price though.

Haven't used them much but so far so good. Strong grip, very smooth action, large solid molars and a very smooth trigger. No pops or jumps. Previously used to hold drywall in place during repairs; good handy tool.

I don't necessarily agree with all the good reviews here. The pliers sent to me could have been processed a little better. The knurled screw doesn't turn very smoothly and the hinges have little play. I give them 3 stars because there is nothing extraordinary about them.

For most uses to medium projects these grip-on pliers work very well. The pliers are made in Spain and are a step ahead of many other locking pliers. The curved handle design is designed for gripping round objects such as fittings, pipes or cables. The release plane is solid and well integrated into the body of the pliers. The orange color makes these pliers easy to find.

What can I say about these locking pliers from Spain? You are fantastic. I am a confirmed drug addict. Mechanical work is tedious enough without a cheap tool in your hands. Don't even think about the IRWIN Tools VISE-GRIP Locking Pliers, Quick Release, Curved Jaws, 10" (11T), they're a whole lot better. If you can find a Petersen Vise at a flea market or trade-in, grab it. Else. Grip-On is what you need.

Received today. Unfortunately the packaging was damaged which gives some information I wasn't expecting. I will be honest and consider. The damage was cosmetic and since it was due to shipping and packaging, no star deduction for that. What follows appears to be related to factory quality issues, not delivery. Functionally, it's not as fancy compared to the 10" Knipex. Rivets and press fittings don't have the same high-quality fit and finish as Knipex - these grip-ons have 1 rivet with a raised

As many other people have said, the wing nut is very difficult to turn even after oiling and unscrewing. This part of these pliers appears to be very poorly designed as the screw is in the weld. The orange paint has scratches in some places, which bothers me a bit because of rust, but smearing with oil helped me avoid problems. Otherwise these pliers work well and the trigger mechanism is easy enough to operate even with very tight pliers. The handle is designed well enough to be comfortable to

Read more on the tool blog. (toolguyd, great site) They come off much smoother than a regular vise when you pull the lever back to open them. You squeeze the extended lever and they open smoothly. A big improvement when you're hard on something. The bad news is that the threaded set screw appears to be sand filled. It's just poor quality as you would expect from port freight, not quality tools. I disassembled it, oiled the threads and ran it a few times and now it's just . . . cheesy. Maybe it…

I am very disappointed in this product. After doing a little research and giving up on the real Vise Grip brand (because people said they weren't well made anymore), I spent the extra money and bought the Grip-On brand. I've only used them once (I had a snapped screw I was trying to get out of a piece of wood) and the Grip-On let me down. The teeth of the tongs appear to be made of soft metal, and within seconds they were twisted and chewed. I then turned to the Channellock pliers, which worked
