Customer Review
Works as advertised
The "Set and Forget pressure control" on these pliers is a much better design than the typical "turn the screw then hope you don't crush anything" design. Also the quick-release works well no matter what the pressure.

Ingenious
After years of using ordinary locking pliers and forever adjusting the size of the jaw, these pliers are wonderful. Instead of setting the size of the jaw, you set the amount of pressure to use. This will be the amount of pressure used to squeeze either a thin piece of paper or a 1-inch thick pipe. Wonderful.

A real step forward, but downside is handle opens very wide
These pliers work very well and adjust automatically (awesome!), but the downside is the handle must open very wide compared to my old Craftsman usa-made visegrip. The width plus rather slippery handles make me usually have to use two hands to span the distance (I have average-sized man hands). The 7inch needle nose pliers from the same company seem to be better in this regard as they are smaller.I might add some grip-tape to the lower handle so one or two fingers could find a purchase and start closing it.
