New Line Delivers Three Times More Gripping Power than Traditional Locking Pliers
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. - Trade professionals hate busted knuckles resulting from failed locking pliers. That's no problem for tradesmen who use trusted IRWIN® VISE-GRIP® locking pliers, which have earned the top spot in the locking pliers category since their introduction in 1957. And, now, tradesmen have even more to celebrate: the new IRWIN VISE-GRIP Curved Jaw (CR) Locking Pliers, featuring a self-energizing lower jaw that delivers three times more gripping power than traditional locking pliers, with absolutely no slipping or stripping. There's no need for heavy input pressure - the jaws tighten for maximum grip as torque is applied to the tool. Backed by the legendary IRWIN VISE-GRIP Lifetime Guarantee, they're available in two core models: Fast Release(TM), with a one-handed, triggerless release and anti-pinch, non-slip ProTouch(TM) Grips; and Original(TM), with a classic trigger release.
