EXCELLENT QUALITY - GREAT GRIPPING POWER
Excellent 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.

Excellent addition to your collection of locking pliers
If you're like me, you have several pairs of locking pliers, or "Vise-Grips". That funtionality is a natural pairing with a sheet metal tool. It's like having an extra hand to hold the metal tight while you bend it. I found these pliers to be of high quality as is expected from Irwin. The pair I received was made in Taiwan, according to the box. An extra with these is the option to use a hex wrench to make "live" adjustments to the locking function while the pliers are still locked down. Otherwise, the lock would have to be released before making an adjustment by hand. The jaws will bend thee inches of metal at a time. Not huge, but that still allows the pliers to get into some tight spaces. As some have mentioned, the top jaw is not perfectly flat; it has a very slight curve, but that did not affect useability. Finally, I used the metal benders on the drip edge on my house. The bottom 1/4" is bent outward slightly and I bent it a little more to give rainwater a bit more of a kick away from the fascia.

Work very well
My husband needed this particular style of grips. He was cutting down an old mattress prior to taking it to the land fill. These grips worked exactly as he wanted.

Great for refelting a pool table
I bought these to help me pull the new felt on a pull table taut while I put in the staples. Made the job so much easier (and improved the final result). I can't imagine trying it without these.
