User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone uses it for jewlery making? How is it? Thanks
Answer:	I've never used it for jewelry but it cuts wire very crisply and the nose has a flat crimper that would close small metal parts easily.
Question:	does it cut guitar strings ? how about bike break cable
Answer:	As a bike mechanic, I would highly recommend getting a tool specficially for cable cutting. It's a curved blade that won't fray the stands. I expect steel cables will dull this blade quickly.
Question:	How can you tell which crimp area to use? The color codes on the tool show 2 "ranges" of wire gauge, but it looks like there are 3 crimp areas
Answer:	On the left there is a label ("INSUL AND NON-INSUL") that points the center of the two places to crimp, with the one closest to the pivot color coded for blue and yellow connectors (or 16 - 10 gauge), and the next crimp area for red connectors (or 22 - 18 gauge). The bump on the right side between the two is not meant for crimping.
Question:	Where are these made
Answer:	Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools. The country of origin for this self adjusting wire stripper is Taiwan.

User questions & answers

Question:	What saw blade comes with this coping saw? course or fine
Answer:	Amazon specify that the blade that comes with the saw has 17pts. That would make it the coarse blade as fine blades have 21pts blades

Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Like Kobalt, True Tempure, Craftsman , Irwin has gone with these companies to provide above standard low cost premium tools, made in China.

User questions & answers

Question:	How big will the 12" groove lock open to
Answer:	The Jaw capacity for the GV12 is 2-3/4".
Question:	Can I buy just the pouch I already bought the tools
Answer:	I have no answer for you as this must be answered only by the seller. There are tool pouches for sale elsewhere or I simply had my wife make a speciality tool pouch for me.
Question:	Are these tools electrically insulated? I can't tell if the grips will shield your hands
Answer:	No, the grips are not specially made to provide electrical insulation. They will provide some level of insulation, but so will paint or masking tape - does not mean it's a good idea, safe, or should be relied upon regularly. If you want to see what properly constructed electrically insulating pliers look like, take a look at Knipex (world's greatest pliers, BTW) and you'll see their regular linesman pliers, cutters, etc., and then ALSO their 1000V rated electrical versions of the same pliers. The purpose-built insulation difference is clear, and they cost a little more, along with more bulk, as expected. I expect that if you are an electrician, you'd invest in the $$$ insulated version, and if you never or rarely worked on electrical things, you'd buy the regular version and take multiple extra precautions, etc. when needing to work on wiring.
Question:	is it just me or is there not an actual pair of "vice grips" in this set
Answer:	I also bought this hex allen wrench set, it is a perfect match with this product. https://www.amazon.com/ROUPHY-Industrial-Strength-Increasing-T-Handle/dp/B07VT78VS3/ref=sr_1_42?crid=1712S8L2Z6WPI&keywords=hex+key+wrench+set&qid=1576057227&sprefix=hex+key+%2Caps%2C1259&sr=8-42

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the depth on these
Answer:	There's about six pieces of each color per size, two sizes. There is blue, green, yellow, pink, red, and orange. If you need just two colors you might have to buy a sheet of the color you want and cut them yourself, or check with some stained glass companies and see if they can sell you what your looking for. I did see on amazon a pack of leaves they were selling but I don't remember the colors listed.
Question:	How long is the clamp? I know it says 6", but that just seems wrong
Answer:	They are thin so they should be able to drill.
Question:	Do these also function as spreaders
Answer:	No, there may be parts that will allow light through, but not transparent by any means.
Question:	Whats the max clamping size? I know it says 6" steel bar. Or is that the clamping size
Answer:	One little glass is less than 1/2 inch square! They are small! I hope it helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this truly strip all kinds of wires, like breadboard jumper wires
Answer:	Definitely: breadboard jumper wires are my primary use.
Question:	How well do these strip 12 gauge romex (individual conductors, of course)? That would be main use for these; already have simple strippers
Answer:	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4XrsWv6enw&list=PLqVZGHwrUlvGV22O6vEEfTmhLLsNBVbRI&index=2#t=142.377521If you watch this Youtube video you see a man announce, at 50 seconds in, how he is replacing 12 gauge wire with 10 gauge. This fellow then easily strips 10 gauge wire at about 2:00 minutes withthis very vice grip tool. He makes it look so easy. It is not a commercial just a guy rewiring his portable solar panel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4XrsWv6enw&list=PLqVZGHwrUlvGV22O6vEEfTmhLLsNBVbRI&index=2#t=142.377521
Question:	Will this work for speaker wire
Answer:	I haven't had any luck with it on Genesis Speaker wires in 16 and 14 gauge. Cat 5e and Cat6 STP and UTP it does well stripping the jacket but watch for nicks on UTP and peal back.
Question:	Does it have blade height adjustment? I could not get it to strip a 12 gauge wire
Answer:	It is supposed to auto adjust for most heights and do 10-24 AWG wires. There is a micro adjust that can be adjusted so the grab side doesn't dig into the wire. My first pair wouldn't strip anything regardless of gauge, and the new pair strips intermittently. When it does strip it causes more damage to the insulation exposing wire in front of the strip point, despite the micro adjustment. I am giving them a week in the field and testing on various wires and will hopefully have some sample video and photos.Perhaps I will figure out how they can be used without these problems if not they will also be returned.

IRWIN Folding Utility Knife, Locking

The IRWIN Folding Utility Knife cuts quickly and smoothly and makes switching out dull blades safer.

But one push of the quick-change button on the IRWIN Folding Utility knife lets the blade slide smoothly forward and allows you to pop in a replacement in seconds.

This mechanism only engages when the folding action is at a 45° angle which makes changes easy yet prevents injuries and gets you get back to work quickly.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the jaws actually made from - are they polymer or metal
Answer:	They are metal. Not sure of the exact alloy content, but I've had my pair for about 8 or 9 years and use them regularly, and have yet to break them. The teeth aren't as sharp/ grip as well as they used to, but they are pretty old and still have plenty of bite. They are far from being considered worn out.
Question:	how thick is the plier end
Answer:	Thickness at end is 1/4''
Question:	How wide do they open
Answer:	At least more than an 1 1/2” wide. I use them at work using anywhere from 3/8” nuts (9/16” wrench) up to 5/8” nuts (3/4” wrench)
Question:	At the widest setting, what is the jaw opening (upper and lower jaws in parallel position
Answer:	Absolute widest opening is 2.28 inches and max opening with the jaws parallel is about 1.28" inches.
