Overview
Locking onto small parts in tight spots is the job of this long nose Vise-Grip. The jaws clamp and hold without hand pressure, and the handle mixes alloy steel, stainless steel, plastic and rubber with a ProTouch grip.
A long nose and a locking action give good reach into tight spots, and the listing says it meets or exceeds ANSI specifications. The listing is vague on the warranty and gives a confusing dimensions entry.
Who it's for
Cramped engine bays, panels and small hardware reward a long nose that can hold a part in place. Large stock needs a bigger jaw, so look at the wider locking pliers.
Pros and cons
- Long nose reaches tight spaces
- Locking action holds hands free
- Cutter included in the jaw design
- Meets ANSI specifications
- Warranty described only as warranty
- Dimensions entry looks wrong
- Jaw tooth pattern not described
- Needs adjusting before each size
Performance notes
The locking action sets the jaws on the work and holds a fixed grip, while the long nose carries that grip into narrow gaps. Hold depends on how closely the jaw gap matches the part. The mixed handle materials give a comfortable surface for squeezing.
