IRWIN 1602L3 Visegrip Long Nose Plier 4in, Silver

I wanted this Mole-grip/Vicegrip to get into a confined space and unscrew a component that had rusted on at work, so I chose this 4" version, the smallest one listed on Amazon. Irwin 'Visegrip's are the quality locking jaw plier brand as stated on the packet: 'The Original - since 1924'. Not quite sure where the 4" comes in but these long nose grips have a nose of 4cm (1.5") and the total length is 5.5" (13cm) x 1.25" (3.2cm) high. The jaws can open to 1.5/8th inch (4.1cm). These Vice-Grips are similar in quality to the Stanley 'Mole-Grip' line of locking pliers, although Irwin claim these grips have a 2x longer life and are 25% stronger than the opposition. I've had larger versions of these grips for well over 30 years and they have never failed. Great value at the £8.70 I paid direct from Amazon, so 5*, and I've now bought a second pair for home use. The USA Irwin group also own the British Marples brand and Rubbermaid.

Great little tool, good addition to toolbox.Used a few times for clamping off fuel lines when servicing machinery.Well made.

Did the job it was purchased for.Used to remove a stripped recessed screw from an outside light to be able to change the bulb.Would recommend if you need something like this.

Very good would recommend

A well priced useful tool. The long nose is great for getting into difficult areas and firmly gripping things. A must for DIY'ers

good for working in tight areas. Can twist a little on small dia componants

These are a lot better than their size suggests. At first I thought what a waste of time as they are really small but they are well made, actually close straight and very strong. Excellent little mole grips. I may get the bigger size now too just incase.

Vice clamps are always handy especially working solo where you need that third hand to hold something steady or do a nut up where you can't physically get to the head. These little thin nosed versions are very handy for those little fiddly screws in awkward places
