IRWIN Tools Vise-Grip GrooveLock Pliers Set, V-Jaw, 2 Piece, 2078709

The IRWIN VISE-GRIP GrooveLock Pliers Set is fantastic! The V-jaw design provides a secure grip on various surfaces, and the GrooveLock mechanism makes adjustments quick and easy. Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance. Perfect for plumbing, automotive, and DIY projects. Highly recommended for professionals and hobbyists alike. Great value for a 2-piece set!

My boss has a set of Knipex, I couldnt justify the price of the Knipex and so I got these as a plumber. Ive used the Knipex pliers plenty, they are great pliers and according to my boss have lasted 20 years, and the jaws still look decent, a little worn but impressively less than what you would expect for 20 years. Ive had this set for a couple months now, jaws still look great, only small signs of wear despite being heavily used everyday for the past 2 months. I like that with these you don't have to press in the button to make the jaws smaller (unlike with the Knipex) and can just slide the jaws together. My boss also occasionally grabs for these over his because these have a slightly wider mouth, either a good thing and feels like they grab more, or a not so good thing as they dont fit into quite as tight spaces (just good to be aware of). They have very little side play, again pretty similar to the Knipex. I cant really comment on the longevity of these (but will anyways). They likely wont last 20 years, and Im fine with that seeing as these were 1/3 of the cost of 1 singular Knipex plier/wrench, and they feel like they will last a good amount of time. Overall these feel great, and work great. The design of the jaws makes it so that once they grab whatever you are wanting to grab (usually a nut, bolt, pipe, etc. etc.) you just need to keep applying force to the top handle and you wont lose purchase. Id recommend them, a great step up from standard "channel lock" design for most applications.

Nice set of wrenches good quality and price was good. I have used these a lot since I got them very handy for the work I' m doing at the moment

These things are the best I've ever used! I love the fact that these slip locks don't come loose, or jam like cheaper ones do. The locking button feature makes them easy to adjust and keeps them at the size you set them at. You don't have to fight with these; they just work! "You pay for quality, because quality pays for itself." Just a few jobs in and Irwin's are already my all time favorite handy-man tools. I have the tools pictured in this review, plus a couple of hammers, several sets of vice grips, squares, T-squares, plus probably a few other things by Irwin in my tool box. They just don't let you down!

Great pliers!!!

I didn’t test for strength so i can’t give 5 stars. Came well packed. Jaws aligned snd don’t wobble. Mechanism works smoothly. Feel sturdy and good in my hands. Inexpensive too. I have the original one too from more than 20 years ago or so- same size GV8; the Jaws are different and the handle is mire comfortable. The older pair feels more substantial and smoother. It is also assembled differently. When the jaws are open to the size the handles on the older one are more spread out and more comfortable. I would bet the older version would outlast the newer one. Don’t know where the older one was manufactured- maybe the US maybe Taiwan. Interesting.

These pliers come in handy and work fantastic. I have always trusted Irwin tools and these are well made and functional. It is much cheaper to buy them as a 2 piece set.

I got this set many years ago, really like the jaw size adjustment. Huge improvement over traditional channel locks. A couple years back I lost the smaller pair and finally decided to replace it. Ended up buying both again, better price. (Wrote my name inside the handles with a fine point sharpie this time 👍)
