Review: 物は○だが説明書が欲しい - 作りがしっかりしており、丈夫で使いやすかった。 普段プライヤーを使わないので、使用方法や調節をするのに時間が掛かったため、出来れば絵などが入った説明書が欲しい。 所々機械油やホコリ（？）が付いていて、洗浄が必要だったのが残念。
Review: Does a good job - Well made, as you'd expect from Irwin, and clamps tight and square just as the manufacturer claims. This is the 8 inch version which was fine for the job I used it for - bending thin sheet steel - as I could get sufficient leverage on it; if you are intending to bend anything more substantial you will need something larger. Of course if your need is simply for a tool to grip metal sheet then this Visegrip will do a good job for you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the width of the jaw plates?**
A: 3 inches

**Q: What's widest plates open to?**
A: Plates open at the end to widest at 2". The plates are parallel at 3/4".

**Q: Is the product made in USA?**
A: Nope, Taiwan.  The packaging clearly shows this, and the country or origin is a lie.  Irwin sold out the Vise-Grip brand in 2008 and moved all production to East Asia.  The quality is terrible now.  If you want a quality tool I'd recommend Channellock (USA) or Knipex (Germany).

**Q: Do these close flat? It looks like just the front edge touches the sheet metal.**
A: No they don't close flat.  The front edge "touch" first.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent addition to your collection of locking pliers
*by D***H on 8 November 2024*

If you're like me, you have several pairs of locking pliers, or "Vise-Grips". That funtionality is a natural pairing with a sheet metal tool. It's like having an extra hand to hold the metal tight while you bend it. I found these pliers to be of high quality as is expected from Irwin. The pair I received was made in Taiwan, according to the box. An extra with these is the option to use a hex wrench to make "live" adjustments to the locking function while the pliers are still locked down. Otherwise, the lock would have to be released before making an adjustment by hand. The jaws will bend thee inches of metal at a time. Not huge, but that still allows the pliers to get into some tight spaces. As some have mentioned, the top jaw is not perfectly flat; it has a very slight curve, but that did not affect useability. Finally, I used the metal benders on the drip edge on my house. The bottom 1/4" is bent outward slightly and I bent it a little more to give rainwater a bit more of a kick away from the fascia.
