The IRWIN

®

VISE-GRIP

®

brand is legendary. Professional tradesmen have

trusted the strength and durability of VISE-GRIP pliers since 1924. With proven

performance in every turn, these are the tools that tradesmen choose first – and

pass on to the next generation.

VISE-GRIP locking tools have twice the life of any other locking tools. The familiar

VISE-GRIP Original™ locking tools, with the classic guarded trigger release,

continue to be an industry leader. Our innovative VISE-GRIP Fast Release™

locking pliers have a one-handed, triggerless release, so they’re twice as easy

to open as the traditional design. Plus, anti-pinch, non-slip ProTouch™ Grips

provide comfort, control, and less hand fatigue.

The newly re-engineered curved jaw (CR) locking pliers are the latest

innovation in the VISE-GRIP family of locking tools. With a self-energizing lower

jaw, these locking tools have three times more gripping power than traditional

locking pliers, and will never slip or strip. There’s no need for heavy input

pressure – the jaws tighten to provide maximum grip as more torque is applied

to the tool. The CR range is available in both Original and Fast Release.

VISE-GRIP GrooveLock tongue and groove pliers have a press-n-slide button that adjusts the jaws twice as fast as other tongue and groove pliers.

Anti-pinch, non-slip ProTouch™ Grips provide comfort, control, and less hand fatigue. With precise jaw positioning and a multi-groove ratcheting

system, GrooveLock pliers are available in straight, smooth, and v-shaped jaws.

In addition to locking tools and tongue and groove pliers, VISE-GRIP offers a full line of pliers and wrenches, including traditional pliers, pipe wrenches,

and specialty tools – all backed by the IRWIN VISE-GRIP Lifetime Guarantee.

IRWIN VISE-GRIP pliers and wrenches continue to set the standard for dependability, quality, and innovation… today and tomorrow. Wherever

there’s a need for a quality tool, IRWIN VISE-GRIP is on the job.

classic guarded trigger release, are designed to

provide maximum locking force.

IRWIN VISE-GRIP Fast Release locking

traditional design. Plus, anti-pinch, non-slip

ProTouch™ Grips provide comfort, control,

and less hand fatigue.

*vs. traditional locking pliers

1. Patented curved jaw (CR) design is perfect

for securely gripping and torquing multiple

surface shapes, such as round pipe,

square or hex bolts, and more; ideal

for any application that requires

maximum torque.

2. Self-energizing lower jaw

allows jaw to align on

workpiece for maximum grip

without slipping or stripping; provides

maximum torque or grip without requiring heavy

input pressure; jaw mechanism grips tighter as

more torque is applied to the tool.

3. Fast Release™ handle for one-handed, triggerless

release with no pinch points.

4. ProTouch

grips have molded handles for comfort,

control, and less hand fatigue.

5. Hex key adjusting screw offers controlled release,

and draws materials tightly together.
