Pros & Cons

Pros

These are the original vise - grip. They're vise grips and work as intended. They hold their grip and are easy to set. The thumb wheels both have allen heads.

They are the original and still the best. Other stuff i've bought and used is junk compared to these. They perform well for what i bought them for, working on lawnmowers and lawn equipment. They are good quality, smaller than i was expecting, but will... Read More

Cons

These are not your father's petersen vice grips. These petersen knockoffs made by irwin are flimsy and have a mile of play in them. There is just too much slop in the alignment of the jaws to make these useful for serious work.

Quality

You’re a great quality they’re tough and they’re gonna last me a long time

The top quality and service will be useful for my business

My old vice grips had terrible sidetoside play and these have none

The thumb wheels both have allen heads with the size clearly marked if they ever get stuck

Price

For the money you can’t go wrong

Shipping

These arrived on time in undamaged packaging

Did take a bit of time to get here as one day prime took over three days to get them

Packaging/appearance

Couldnt even tell they were used still in original packaging and everything

It came all wrapped in a plastic bag that was all greasy

Product arrived and both vice grips were in good condition but the package was beat to hell

Competitiveness

Just as well made as irwins from the 1970s

Nothing compares to the original vice grip

Other brands that had been used a few times feel like they’re falling apart and rust a lot easier in joints

Other stuff ive bought and used is junk compared to these
