User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know if the adjustment bolt on these is interchangeable with a puller bolt
Answer:	No, we do not recommend our product for use with a puller bolt.
Question:	Are they made in the u.s.a
Answer:	No, they are made in China
Question:	They open to almost 2 inches
Answer:	They actually open a bit further that 2", but when you close them at the maximum opening it's just over 2". If you are trying to grip a round 2" pipe, you're going to have problems since the jaws are not that deep ...like a 10" fish trying to swallow a 6" fish ...too much fish.
Question:	Are these made in U.S.A
Answer:	The story of how the maker, Irwin, sold out To Rubbermaid (another former is producer that makes everything in China now) and almost ALL US employees at their two factories were fired and the the towns the factories were in were catastrophized, is one of the more we’ll known examples of Clinton era imposed “free trade“ mess. They save about $0.30 per tool by making them in China.

User questions & answers

Question:	Someone told me this can remove one way screws, any ideas? thx
Answer:	Thank you for choosing Irwin tools. Our goal is to provide the highest quality service. We cannot guarantee the product will remove the one-way screw however, with the locking feature, you may be able to grasp the edges of the screw to turn it.
Question:	Someone told me this can remove one way screws, any ideas? thx
Answer:	Yes you can. Adjust the pliers to the one way screw and make it tight. You can carefully unbolt the screw. I used visegrips to remove my old security door screws this way.
Question:	How do these compare to the originals
Answer:	The current Vise-Grip is not as strong as the original Vise-Grip made in the USA. Ask any Farmer who uses them every day and they'll tell you. Don't blame China for that as Irwin gives the specifications to the the China company that builds the tool and China gives Irwin exactly to the contract specifications that Irwin demands.
Question:	Are these made in the USA? I've been shopping for a pair, but can only find these labeled made in China
Answer:	A lot of today's even though are label made in china or indonesia these tools are made by american companies sad thing is alot of times these tools will lack quality .

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you just get the tray for this set
Answer:	Channel locks http://toolsinaction.com/channel-lock-american-made/
Question:	What is the warrant
Answer:	Nope, the description is a lie. Irwin sold out the Vise-Grip brand name and moved all production to China. The quality has suffered immensely and I can no longer recommend the Vise-Grip brand. Buy pliers from Channellock (USA) or Knipex (Germany) if you want real quality.
Question:	Are there any locking pliers made in america
Answer:	this model d110 comes -3 so every 33 inchs are 30 oz, probably different vendors. just order the 33inch in 109$ cheaper
Question:	So to confirm these are not usa made
Answer:	rounded
Question:	The size selection has multiple size options for a 33 inch and price varies on each selection. What is the different between the 33, 33 inch
Answer:	Yes the ball jumps off the bat and there are no dead spots. This bat is also quite durable.
Question:	is the end of the barrel cupped or rounded
Answer:	2 1/4" diameter, Sharon, like most Slowpitch bats. This one is certified for both USSSA and ASA play, which covers most leagues. For that reason it is a very popular selection for people just getting into the game. Bang-for-the-buck factor is outstanding.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the thread pitch of adjusting screw
Answer:	Sorry, they were given as a gift.
Question:	why is it so difficult to simply state what the jaw size is, when every other maker willingly does so? what size do i need to replace a sink trap
Answer:	I understand your frustration Denille. The 10" Vice Grips can handle a max of about 2". Probably most effective at 1 3/4". You might want to consider using Channellock groove joint pliers instead. The Channellock 10" handles ~ 2", the 12" ~3" and the 16" ~4" and they're priced well here on Amazon. Good luck with that sink trap.
Question:	Technical Details says this product is one foot (12 inches) long. So how long is it in the real world
Answer:	With the adjusting screw screwed all the way in. Tit measures 8.858".
Question:	Is this product durable say for use about every week 6-10 Times a a day

Answer:	Thank you for choosing Irwin Tools. Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality and service. No. All vise grip products are manufactured in China.
Question:	I have a 4" diameter plastic jar and lid that I can't separate. Will 2 of these work to help me remove the lid
Answer:	These will lock onto your lid if there is a tab . Channellock pliers may be a better way to go as they will grab and you can turn .
Question:	What does 4WR mean
Answer:	I'm not an Irwin rep or anything, but from what I can tell, the 4WR means it's a 4" General Purpose Curved Jaw type. The general purpose pliers have a wire cutter in the jaw, as opposed to some of their other models which don't have one. The 4" model is quite small ... handy for keeping in your briefcase or pocket and useful for getting at small hardware in tight places, but if you're looking for a standard sized set of vice grip pliers, this isn't it.
Question:	Are these made in USA
Answer:	Thank you for choosing Irwin Tools. Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality and service. No. All vise grip products are manufactured in China.

Question:	how big does this open? is it big enough to compress brake calipers

Question:	Youtube mentions using a c-clamp to secure the garage door if the elec. power doesn't work. they don't mention the best size. what size is best
Answer:	We apologize but we don't exactly know what size is the best because its many variables for example the size of the garage, the material, the thickness, the weight, the type of garage.......etc. There are too many variables to suggest a correct method to secure the garage door.
Question:	is made in USA
Answer:	Uh guys, there is no "engineering" that goes into this product. By buying this product you are not supporting an American engineer sitting at his desk working away in some computer aided software designer. Let me explain how "Made in China" works: first the company rep travels to China, bringing along a vice grip previously engineered and manufactured in the USA, and says, "Here ya go, now make this for a quarter the price." Then the Chinese factory does their best to replicate it, while cutting corners and using substandard materials and manufacturing methods. Lastly, the company rep goes home and fires the original engineer. The whole "Designed in the USA" marketing ploy is a sham!
