. I wonder how the Malco prices will be and will the finish be the same?
Vice Grips = China? Sad.Nice. Vise Grips sure took a dive when moving to China. Hope this is a new trend.
been that way for a good few years now. you can thank irwin for buying a family run business and pretty much immediately sending the whole deal to china..Vice Grips = China? Sad.
Totally agree they are important. I got a set of Chinese made ones, first use the serrated parts of the jaws just chipped and were so soft they weren’t useable it was disappointing. I’ll definitely buy the USA ones.How much are Irwin vice gips? I’d pay double thst, maybe more.... but I don’t need mine saying snap-on.
Good vice grips are important... once I was in a pinch and bought a cheap set from AAP. They werent worth a darn. Fortunately they let me return them for store credit, used... and understood my issues...
Looking forward to the real thing when ready...
Indeed they did. I work in steel fabrication where I use 11R locking Vice Grip pliers on a daily basis. I have a few pairs that are 20+ years old. I bought a half dozen new ones about 5 years ago, sure enough, made in China. They've all been tossed, in every one the pins fall out after a couple years, often less. You can make them work by welding the pin back in, but they don't operate smoothly and with enough use they hang up on the welded pins, then it's trash time.Nice. Vise Grips sure took a dive when moving to China. Hope this is a new trend.
