Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right Vise-Grip tool for my job?
Start with the task. Choose gripping tools for clamping or holding, cutting tools for wire or fixings, and sockets or spanners for turning fasteners. Then check the jaw capacity or drive size against the materials and fasteners you work with most, in millimetres.
Can locking pliers be used on damaged or rounded fasteners?
Yes. The locking grip clamps tightly onto worn or rounded nuts and bolts, giving you extra purchase to turn them. Set the jaws to fit snugly, lock them firmly and turn steadily. Be aware that the jaws may mark softer materials, so avoid using them on finished surfaces you want to preserve.
