Earl Recommends: Irwin Vice-Grip Pliers

Every household needs a good set of standard tools, including quality pliers. One of Earl's favorite hand tools is the Irwin Vice-Grip Pliers. Why does he recommend them?

"Pliers have many uses. This multi-purpose hand tool is used for gripping, bending, and cutting. The Irwin brand has many different pliers with this one being my favorite. It is adjustable to fit around all sized items and it has a comfortable grip."

Why Do You Need a Good Pair of Pliers?

Quality tools will almost certainly make your job easier. A good pair of pliers will allow you to grip objects of different shapes and sizes easily, or apply limited torque, or twisting force, without damaging the object. You can also use them to position, tighten, and loosen objects.

Pliers can be used for:

Plumbing
Yard equipment repair
Vehicle repairs
and a host of household projects.

Having a good pair of pliers in the household toolbox, or readily available in the garage or workshop means you will always be prepared. Whether you need to grip a pipe or tighten a bolt, the right pair of pliers should be comfortable, easy to use and make your job easier. Poorly designed pliers that pinch your fingers, lose their grip, or are hard to position and adjust, will just make the job take longer and end up frustrating you. If you want to save time and skip needless frustration, consider Earl's recommendation for the Irwin Vice-Grip Pliers and you'll start with the right pair of pliers to begin with!

Why are the Irwin Vice-Grip Pliers Worth Owning?

When giving advice and recommending hand tools, Earl always considers features that make them intuitive and easy to use and make them stand out from your other tools. Remember, he wants you to get the job done quickly, easily, and without frustration. The Irwin Vice-Grip Pliers have many great features that meet his criteria:

The multi-groove ratcheting system has twice as many groove positions as other groove joint pliers. This will give you precise jaw positioning and allow you to grip any type of surface.
An innovative press-n-slide button allows you to adjust the jaw twice as fast as traditional groove joint pliers, all with the simple push of the button.
The anti-pinch, non-slip ProTouch Grips provide a comfortable, controlled grip which results in less hand fatigue.
The right-angle teeth grip in all directions for maximum bite.
The all-purpose jaws can grip round, flat, square, and hex shapes.
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) delivers strength and exceptional performance.

These features not only make the Irwin Vice-Grip Pliers easy to use, but also make the pliers valuable to have around the house for a variety of household repairs and projects.
