5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT QUALITY - GREAT GRIPPING POWER
Verified PurchaseExcellent locking pliers. The gripping power is great and you can use them beyond welding and metal forming, even for holding materials while you hammer them. The release lever works quite well, provided you keep it properly lubricated.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does a good job
Verified PurchaseWell made, as you'd expect from Irwin, and clamps tight and square just as the manufacturer claims. This is the 8 inch version which was fine for the job I used it for - bending thin sheet steel - as I could get sufficient leverage on it; if you are intending to bend anything more substantial you will need something larger. Of course if your need is simply for a tool to grip metal sheet then this Visegrip will do a good job for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong information: Just one tool in the "2-pack" package
Verified PurchaseIn short: There was ONLY ONE TOOL in the shipment. They admitted the error and accepted my request to return part of the money I paid. BAD overall experience.
