## Description

Jaws are machined for maximum gripping strength. ProTouch grips have molded handles for comfort and create less hand fatigue. Variable-size jaws are a flexible solution for most household needs. Available in 6-inch and 8-inch sizes. All pliers meet or exceed ANSI specification. From the Manufacturer The IRWIN Vise-Grip 2078408 - 8" Slip Joint Pliers have an induction hardened cutting edge that stays sharper, longer. The jaws are machined for maximum gripping strength. The pliers also have ProTouch grips that have molded handles for comfort and create less hand fatigue. All pliers meet or exceed ANSI specification.

Review: Impressive Quality - As an Irwin product I expected them to be of high quality. But these pliers exceeded my hopes. They're quite heavy duty, and the characteristic Irwin grips make them comfortable in one's hands. Of importance to me, there is no gap in the riveted joint. I may also purchase the 6-inch size since the larger 8-inch pliers might prohibit their use in confined spaces.
Review: very useful - My 2nd pair of these Irwin's. They're sturdy with good handles. This version strikes the balance between light enough to use one-handed, agile enough to use for a small target like pulling a nail, but large enough to usually save me having to go get a wrench. For my adult male (L/XL glove size) hands, larger than this 8" model is awkward, but 6" usually doesn't provide sufficient leverage. So the 8 is just right. My older pair of these are coming up on 3 years old and show no signs of aging (handles still look great). I find I use blunt-nosed pliers a lot more than one would expect for how infrequently they show up in tool-kits. For home DIY and minor repairs I use them a lot more than my needle-nosed AND more than my basic wrenches combined. Irwin has become one of my trusted brands (well-made and reasonably priced). These are Highly Recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where are these made?**
A: China

**Q: Is this one pair of pliers or is it a set of 2?**
A: It’s a single plier. Not a pair.

**Q: Does this pliers have wire cutters?**
A: Yes, it is a notch close to the pivot point of the pliers. it will cut lighter gauge wire but is not the most effective cutter on the market.

**Q: What are you selling? 8-inch slip joint or 6-inch needle nose? Cannot tell from this listing.**
A: I'm not sure. A friend of mine ordered them for me. I never touch tools and I can't get in touch with them now. I think they are the 8". But I looked at the current listing now and it says on it: 8" when you have to make a selection. I don't think the 6" are available anymore. (Did you see that though the price is good there's a $19.99 shipping fee on these? Just to point it out.) 

There is another listing at this link. (You have to copy and paste it to see it.)

I bough a very cheap one a while ago and I can see the difference in quality. Alignment is good and I feel more assurance it won't break on me.
