You have to push the large silver button at the pivot-point to adjust the size. Thank you to the Internets for teaching me before I returned them!
These seem well made. Now that the operator knows how to use them, all is well.

You have to push the large silver button at the pivot-point to adjust the size. Thank you to the Internets for teaching me before I returned them!
These seem well made. Now that the operator knows how to use them, all is well.
However, note that the angle of the channel to the handle is much shallower than in a traditional channel lock. As a consequence, when you are using the wider and narrower ranges of the pliers the handles are quite misaligned and compromises the grip and leverage you can apply. I feel that with a traditional channel lock, the handles stay more parallel for most gripping situations and provide a more confident hold.
In summary, these pliers offer an interesting compromise. You gain a wider adjustment range and convenient adjustment mechanism at the cost of a more awkward grip and possible loss of leverage.
I also bought the 12" version of these and they work well.
If you are planning to use these pliers heavily in a professional setting, I would recommend getting the Knipex pliers instead.
Functionality-wise, these are almost identical to the Knipex Cobras, and they actually have a slight advantage in that you only need to push the button in to enlarge the size of the pliers. The Irwins have a ratcheting mechanism so that when you want to make the jaw opening size smaller, you can simply push up on the top handle without having to depress the adjustment button. On the Knipex Cobras, you need to push the adjustment button in to enlarge AND to reduce the size of the pliers. Knipex has since come out with a new model called the Cobra Quick-Set which has the same ratcheting feature as the Irwins, but those are more costly than the already expensive standard Cobras.
The 10 inch version of the Irwin GrooveLock pliers will open to over 2.5 inches, and it's even large enough to remove Honda/Toyota oil filters. I frequently use it for that purpose, and it has yet to let me down (FYI, don't use pliers to put oil filters on, only use them for removal).
The jaws on the Irwins have worn only very slightly after about a year of light use, and I feel that these would last a long time with homeowner use. However, with professional use, I could definitely see the jaws getting worn down in a short period of time. The jaws on the Knipex Cobras are noticeably more durable, perhaps due to better heat-treatment or stronger metal alloys being used.
Overall, if you're planning to buy these for homeowner use, I would highly recommend them, and for around $20 for this 2-piece set you can't go wrong. I much prefer these to the traditional slip-joint style "Channel-lock" adjustable pliers.
