Great vise set

Best vise set I have ever had. The dikes have a sharp edge. The handles fit well in the hand and are very comfortable to use.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Requires socket

Works as it should, arrived on time

The handles take a little getting used to as they are a lot bulkier than other similar handles I've used. Otherwise a great product at a great price!

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Low repairability

Overall good for hand tools

They are not made from the highest quality tool steel and I have had two of mine fail after about 4 months of heavy use. Not bad for the price but don't expect them to last long if you use them a lot.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Speed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Mid-range instruments, not market quality.

Just as good as the US counterparts but meets my needs for the price I paid. Under a dynamic load of 271 Newton meters (200 ft-lbs), they bend, warp and deform. NOT DESIGNED FOR HEAVY USE.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Will write later

Easily deformed with pliers

Purchased for stubborn fasteners and things that need a strong grip to remove. Unfortunately, they deform too easily and the jaws slip off in a strange way during use. Needle nose pliers are the least usable parts of the set and may not hold items too well.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Have lots of good hand tools

Kobalt makes great tools. In particular pliers, channel locks and vise pliers. They are rebuilt, heavy and durable. For the money, it would be very difficult to beat Cobalt Blue. It is a basic 5 star hotel and I would highly recommend it for any purpose.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Very satisfied, solid quality. Nice strong comfortable handles. Lifetime Guarantee.

very satisfied, solid quality. Nice strong comfortable handles. Lifetime Guarantee. I looked at other brands, I found them at a great price. A must have in any toolbox and I love the needle tips for precision work. I believe this 3 piece set is all you need. The comfortable grip helps to tighten something and not hit the palm. Very happy with this product.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different
