Premium (quality and price) brands such as Grip-On or Knipex. I would say overall they are very, very close to the original Vise-Grip brand. I'd say I'd put them between the American Peterson Vise grips and those who currently import them from China. The weight and feel are about the same, as is the locking mechanism. I focus on jaw hardness in my ranking. They seem a little better than a Chinese vise, but not exactly Nebraska. They were a bit cheaper than the imported Vise-Grip brands so I think they're worth it.
