After a year of use they're going strong. While other brands show wear or even strip metal off the jaws when used on hard steel these still look new. Well worth the extra money over cheap substitutes. The product is an example that paid attention to the details, got it right, and executed with superb quality. I'd happily buy this product again but that's the beauty of it's quality, unless I lose it I wont have to ever replace it. This is a heirloom tool that I fully expect my children will still be using long after I'm gone. Read more

These are the best locking pliers i've ever used, even better than my old Dewitt Vise-Grips. I noticed a review of one guy saying the teeth got chewed up after 2 or 3 uses - here's a fact: If you clamp on to something that is as hard or harder than the steel the tool is made of, your going to damage the teeth. Plain and simple. But if it can do it on that one job no other tool can, it's paid for itself. Definitely has the hardest teeth i've seen in a long time on everything i've used, barely even worn, and the fit and finish is what a tool SHOULD be. Love these and plan to buy another. So sad they are going out of business though. Read more

Malco Tools has superior quality, not only from their robust design, but also because they are made right here in the USA. These pliers are beefy, not like some of the other cheap pliers that are thin and you can feel like they might bend if you put too much pressure on them. These pliers are thick, well built and you pay for what you get. Perfect size to tackle your projects, where they still fit comfortably in your tool pouch. You cannot go wrong with Malco Tools. I heard they shut down production of the eagle grips, so buy them while you can before they go out of stock forever. Read more

A quality tool and made in USA. Read more

These are very nice vise grips and well worth the money. The jaws are flush and level and the locking mechanism for clamping is powerful and smooth. Perfect for job applications such as field work, heavy duty equipment, and the peace of mind that you won't have to buy another for a long, long time so just keep throwing it in the tool bag and keep your worries elsewhere.

I bought them and they are nice so I won't return them Read more

Love the fit finish and function, Super well made, no slop in the jaw alignment, Super polished and chromed. Actually a bit slick and hard to hold onto, if nit-picking. Love the Made In USA! So pricey, tho. Read more

Top of the line quality set of locking pliers. Exact same as Snap On sells. Is definitely the best locking pliers ever made 100% fact. Only complaint would be it didn't come in a box like it is supposed to, and that the adjusting screw came with a little surface rust on it. Nothing that impacts the quality however. Definitely worth every penny. Read more

These are a work of art, and a more substantial and better finished tool than any other locking pliers I’ve used. Read more
