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

Pros
  • Long nose reaches tight spaces
  • Locking action holds hands free
  • Cutter included in the jaw design
  • Meets ANSI specifications
Cons
  • 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.
