Works great

The pliers are very sturdy and powerful. The grip is well engineered and is useful for many applications. The price is very fair.

These bolt removal vise grips are handy and well made. You need these in your tool box. Fast shipping excellent value for price

This product delivers the excellent quality I expect from my vise grip tools. It's a great non marring wrench to grab either the nut or the head of a bolt while you tighten the other. It is bulkier than an ordinary wrench so you will only be able to use it in those situations where there is plenty of room. That being said, it is no more bulky than a regular locking plier. The advantage here is that it has a special mouth that is non marring to a hex bolt. Of course an ordinary vise grip would grab almost as well, although it might leave some marks on the hardware. As tools go, this is more of a luxury item. I don't use this very often, but when I do it's a real joy to use. ( It's a good gift idea for someone who already has a full tool box. )

If you need a tool to help loosen tight nuts and bolts, or to firmly hold one in place, this is a great option. These locking wrench pliers are very different from the standard Vise-Grip locking pliers. The jaws are designed to fit a hex-head fastener (bolt, nut, etc.)and hold it tightly in place. They are excellent for breaking lose extra-tight or rusted-on nuts and bolts. The special jaws provide a much more secure grip than standard Vise-Grip pliers or a wrench. (But beware; those special jaws make this tool less versatile than the standard Vise-Grip pliers.) Be sure to get the size you need. It has been my experience that using the wrong size, even though the fastener may fit, increases the risk of rounding off the corners of the fastener. These "wrenches" come in three different sizes. The smallest ( Vise-Grip 4LW 4" The Original Locking Wrench ) has a jaw capacity of 1/4" (6.4mm) to 9/16" (14.3mm) which is great for small fasteners on consumer electronics, toys, etc. The medium sized model (7LW) which is the subject of this review, has a jaw capacity of 7/16" (11mm) to 3/4" (19mm) which I find works well for most of the fasteners I encounter as a home-owner and hobbyist. I have not (yet) purchased the larger model ( Vise-Grip 10LW Locking Wrench with Wire Cutter ) which has a jaw capacity of 5/8" (15.9mm) to 1 1/8" (28.6mm). But it is on my wish list!

This review is not about the grips performance with nuts/bolts or wire cutting, but instead using a specifically designed tool for a task it was not designed for: TDC/TDF Although they aren't used as often as regular grips, the way the jaws of these are shaped makes them perfect for clamping TDC/TDF flanges together. And the offset of the head makes it easier to line up the edges of the flanges. The 7" version (for which this review was written) can also have the adjustment bolt replaced by a 5/6" x 4" eye bolt with a nut run all the way to the loop. This way you can grip the flanges loosely, tighten the eye bolt by hand, and then for a really strong lock you can put an alignment punch or screwdriver in the eye bolt and really torque that bolt down. The ability to lock onto nuts can also be useful, as well as the wire cutters. 5 out of 5

i owned a pair of these as an apprentice. they remind me of a parrot

I had a hex bolt rounded off and I couldn't get it to budge with any tool including original Vise Grips. I ordered this and it's larger brother and together I got the bolt off. I'll be buying the largest (10") I believe asap.

Great for stuck nuts, does not slip once adjusted correctly. Of this doesn't remove your stuck bolt, nothing else will

サイズを間違えましたタイロッドで使おうと思いましたが、ひとつ下のサイズでしたがそのサイズは廃盤アーウィンなのでいつか使える日がくるかな

Prima Zange auch für schon abgerundete Sechkantmuttern.
