Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The ViperGrip pliers are the only pliers with patented 2-in-1 functionality, which enables users to easily transition between locking or non-locking functionality, improving their ability to work more quickly and effectively. with the simple flip of a switch, the ViperGrip transitions from locking pliers for tough jobs - like removing rusted bolts or clamping materials for welding- to non locking pliers for less strenuous jobs - such as detaching already loosened nuts. with these patented innovations, the ViperGrip has both the versatility to help do-it-yourselfers working around the house, on a camping trip, or on the car, and the power to tackle the wide range of industrial applications professionals face each day. Because ViperGrip's jaws automatically self-adjust to lock onto different sizes of materials, there is no need to manually dial the jaws open or closed to find the proper jaw size making any job - especially those hard-to-reach and "one handed" jobs - easier to complete and up to 3X FASTER. Work speeds are also drastically increased. Also, the ViperGrip's patented design multiplies your hand force 6X to virtually eliminate slippage and fatigue, giving you the power to tackle any job - big or small. Company Information: At IDL Tools International, LLC we develop, acquire, license and manufacture innovative, durable, and leadership (IDL) products - specializing in Hand Tools and Hardware accessory products - that allow both professionals and DIY'ers to perform and complete their jobs more effectively and efficiently.

This review is from: IDL Tools International VG6000BK ViperGrip 6-Inch 2-in-1 Self-Adjusting and Locking Pliers (Tools & Home Improvement)
I got this thing awhile back for no particular reason. I think it was to fill out a "free shipping" order. Anyway, when I first got it, I wondered what ever possesed me to order such a contraption! You close the jaws with your index and middle fingers, then you lock it with the other two fingers. But, once it gets a bite, it holds on, to the point it was a pain to get released. I tossed it in the toolbox figuring I likely wouldn't get much use out of the thing, as I was working along on several projects though, if a pair of pliers wasn't handy, I would grab this. After a couple of months, I started looking for them and now it has almost become my "go to" for all sorts of things. Well built, laminated steel construction, I have beat on it removing nails and it hasn't been fazed nor lost it's grip. Guess I just had to develop enough co-ordination to use it properly. I would definately recommend it as a nice-but-not-essential addition to a tool arsenal.

I can't say enough good things about this tool. It's often the first or second thing I pull out of my toolbox for any home repair/craft task. Highly recommended.

I used this for a plumbing project this weekend, and it works great. This is really a top notch design. I'm a firefighter, and plan to carry this with my gear from now on...
