IRWIN Vise-Grip Original Locking C-Clamp with Swivel Pads, 11", 20

I previously bought the Chinise 10 pack for around $60. They all failed miserably. I learned my lesson. Bought the Irwin brand Visegrip and am sooo happy now, I have vise grips that are 40 years old and still function like new.

Of course it is 5 Stars! These large C-clamps are the best. Buy once, you'll have them for life. Easy to use, dependable, and large opening for multiple uses. The tip pads, are about an inch or so in size, and also pivot to match the surface angle.

Irwin Vise Grip - Exactly as described. Have tested them and all are fully functional as expected. Metal finish is consistent from one to the other. I would recommend this seller and their products.

I am a tool guy, I love to have and use my tools. Due to this I also prefer to have and use ones that I know will last. I have a few off brand pairs of vise grip style locking pliers and honestly none of them compare to the name brand Vice Grips. This is a large nice set that works very well for holding larger pieces together. This is a large pair. The Top/Bottom of the C-clamp portion is about 3-1/2" wide. The top to bottom measurement of the C-clamp is 5-1/4" when closed and the mouth opens up to clamp down on something as large as 4" across. I use this pair when holding 1x2 pieces or steel and need to have a nice firm grip. The gripping tips have a swivel mechanism that works nicely to give more grip when in use by matching the angle of whatever you are clamping. When Irwin bought the Vise Grip brand I was worried they might mess with them, that has not happened, these are just as solid and reliable as my pre-Irwin brand Vise-Grips. About the only difference is the additional Irwin logo on them now. These can get hot enough to actually turn a little blue when I weld really close to where they are clamping, that's how hot they get! These are a very thick metal, very solid and secure and it's immediately apparent when you hold them. Compared to my others (including Craftsman) these are by far the best. 5 stars, these are solid, reliable and do last a lifetime. I've had my oldest set over 30 years now and they are just a dependable as the new ones.

Very sturdy product. However the circular pads are only 1” in diameter and are too small for woodworking or Kreg pocket hole work. These are better for welding.

These are so much better than the nock offs

Needed to do some welding that requires clamping, this is a nice set of vice grips that work perfectly, nice smooth screw with a positive lock up. Very nice compared to the tool store junk that I was considering. These are a bit pricy but I do expect that these will last me for years even with some abuse. Very happy with the performance and glad I spent a few dollars more.

I've tried a bunch of knock off's and I've never had any luck (distort or break). Irwin costs more but they are worth it if you use them all the time like I do. Great solid clamps.

Guerreras y súper útiles para cualquier taller de muebles o trabajo de acero, la calidad de construcción es muy buena y me tocaron de oferta, más gusto me da. Recomendables.
