Well Made, Strong, Useful

I own the 8" and 10" versions of these pliers, as well as, several other Irwin-Vise Grip tools. I needed a smaller set for some more delicate applications and the 6 inch set is the perfect size for that intricate work. I expect these to provide me several years worth of ervice, when used for the intended application, as all my Irwin tools have. The thing to realize about these pliers is that they are not the typical "channel lock" tool that uses a "tongue and groove" system. The Irwin "groove lock" system provides a more precise measurement but that comes at some sacrifices. If you compare the 6" Irwin to the 6" Craftsman (made in USA Craftsman, not the more recent Craftsman chinese junk) shown in my pictures, you'll see that the Irwin jaws are about 1/4" wide, whereas the Craftsman's are 3/8" wide. This allows the Irwin to get into places that the Craftsman and other channel lock type pliers can't, but it also means that the Irwin can't handle as much force as the wider pliers. Considering the jaws are narrower, if you need to apply a lot of torque to the fastener, then you need to move up to a larger size plier like the 8" or 10". I suspect, that's why several other users have reported that they break easily. The next thing you'll notice in the pictures is that the 6" Craftsman pliers only have 3 grooves, which limits its ability to fit the fastener correctly. The 6" Irwin has seven size selections, which again has the added benefit of fitting the fastener correctly and not slipping like tongue and groove pliers can. Bottom line, this tool will last a lifetime, if used correctly, and it offers some precise settings that traditional channel lock type pliers can't match.

The GrooveLock Pliers are a convenient and well-crafted tool that delivers solid performance. The locking mechanism works smoothly, making it easy to adjust and grip different sizes of materials. The build quality is impressive, offering a sturdy feel and reliable operation for most small tasks. However, one downside is that the pliers feel a bit small and flimsy, which limits their use to lighter, smaller-scale jobs. They might not be the best choice for heavy-duty tasks, as they may lack the strength and durability needed for more demanding applications. Overall, these pliers are great for basic, precision work but might not stand up to larger, more rigorous projects.

I love these little pliers. Feel great in my hand, push button adjust is nice because it stays in that position until you change it! I bought two, one for my main toolbox and the other for my truck tool bag.

Great quality. Strong pair of pliers

At first I thought this was too small. BUT, I had a couple of uses for it and it worked very well. The take away is even though it seemed small, it fit the items I was using it for and it was not too heavy or cumbersome to use. Another good gadget to have in my tool box.

De buen tamaño , ergonomicas y buen acero , para trabajos de plomeria ( en este caso CPVC ) y bronce el ajuste manual y agarre sujeción son exactos . Esta serie modelo cualquier tamaño , es recomendable !

Sehr gut und saubere Verarbeitung.

Small size may limit applications, however, great quality and price with easy size adjustment.

Excelente qualidade,

Esta marca no suele decepcionar y en este caso tampoco. Este pico loro de medidas reducidas esta bien terminado y ajusta perfectamente sin holguras incluso menos que otros dos que tengo de marca premium.
