Klein Tools 38660 Locking Pliers Set, 7-Inch and 10-Inch Curved Jaw Pliers, Quick Release Handles, High Torque and Gripping Power, 2-Piece

What I Like • Strong and secure grip: The locking mechanism holds tightly even on round or irregular shapes. Once locked, the pliers don’t slip — useful when you need a steady hold. • Works well in tight spaces: The long-nose design lets me reach into confined or awkward spots (like inside wiring chases or around plumbing) better than standard pliers. • Comfortable to use: The molded handles feel good in hand, and the tool doesn’t pinch my fingers even during extended use. The quick-release lets me unlock with minimal effort. • Adjustable and versatile: The thumb-knob adjustment is easy to use, making it simple to clamp onto different sizes of materials without fuss. • Durable build: It feels solid and well-made — I trust it for tough jobs, and the metal seems resistant to corrosion/wear so far. What to Know / Minor Downsides • Limited leverage due to size: Because this is the 6″ version (rather than a larger set), you don’t get as much leverage as big locking pliers — for heavy-duty tasks, you might need a larger model. • Jaw size limits some uses: The jaws are relatively slim, so something very thick or bulky may not clamp securely. Good for small/medium workpieces, less ideal for heavy, large metal pieces. • Not insulated for electrical work: As with most steel pliers, you need to be cautious — avoid use around live circuits unless you have proper insulated tools. Real-World Use & Performance I’ve used these pliers for household plumbing adjustments, light auto-maintenance (brackets, clamps), and DIY electrical box installs (when power was off). In those situations the tool performed well: solid grip, no slipping, and the long nose made maneuvering in tight spots much easier than standard pliers. The release mechanism stays smooth after several uses, and the handles remain comfortable even with prolonged grip. Overall Verdict If you want a reliable, medium-duty locking plier that’s compact and easy to handle — ideal for home maintenance, plumbing, automotive or general DIY — this Klein Tools 38611 is a solid choice. It delivers good grip strength, comfort, and versatility without being overbuilt or cumbersome. I’d buy it again if I needed another pair for similar tasks.

I am honestly surprised at the quality and functionality of these pliers. I was hesitant at first, because the screw-end adjustment mechanism for the locking jaws was unfamiliar to me. I was worried I wouldn't like it, but I was completely wrong. These are awesome! They are comfortable in the hand, having coated grips, and with a sturdy, solid feel that I haven't experienced in locking pliers from my past. These pliers are a good size and have a strong locking mechanism that's surprisingly well-balanced to hold tight, but also be easy to unlock. At the time of my purchase, these were an absolute bargain, with an affordable price-point that makes these an excellent value for the dollar. I own several Klein tools, and I've been impressed at the quality and design of each of them. Not only are these pliers my new favorites, but Klein Tools has become one of my new favorite manufacturers.

Great pair of locking pliers. Had a nut stuck on one of the struts on my van and needed something to hold the shaft from spinning and this did great, even took an impact to the tightening screw on the pliers to get it super tight and nothing broke except a few of the teeth on the jaws but that doesn't matter much. The grips are nice and comfortable too, Will definitely get the tools I need from Klein next time I need something.

Very well made. Good price for a quality item.

Should have bought these sooner. High quality and works perfect

Well made useful tool, works just as described

I do small engine repair and these worked great. Real quality, have been impressed with them so far.

Really like all the Klein Products. Good quality on these pliers, comfortable handles and the adjustment knob is much easier to use than other models.

Um dos melhores alicates de pressão que tenho, são formidáveis.

Ótimo produto ainda uma das melhores marcas do mundo klein tools ta no topo com preço de vonder

good quality

I was very excited to get this combo of Klein locking pliers as I have another pair that I absolutely love. These things are constructed very well and are more affordable than Milwaukee locking pliers, which I also own. They also have very comfortable grips and are easy to open one handed without busting your fingers. However, with the set I ordered, the small pair of needle nose locking pliers came riveted very loose. There is a lot of slop and play in the mechanism, and the tips of the plier don't line up straight. I am thinking that this is due to poor quality control and I am sending these back for a replacement, which will hopefully fix my issue. I will update my review once I get my replacement set. Edit: I received my replacement and unfortunately, I had to drop my review another star. Both pliers in the new set suffered from the same issue this time. Both were loose and had jaws that are crooked or offset. I don't know if this is a bad batch, but regardless, quality control is really sloppy. I'll stick to my Milwaukees for now.
