Way to tempting, if I knew they were made in the US they would be on the way as my vice grip drawer isn't nearly full enough.

You have a vice grip drawer???

I have a screw driver drawer, a metric only open/box end wrench drawer with every size from 6-32 (and a matching STD one too), an impact drawer, an electrical drawer, a socket drawer, a hammer drawer, but no vice grip drawer. Thanks for the idea!

i thought everyone had a vice grip drawer. you need to keep them away from your normal pliers. they are wound a little to tight for the normal ones.

Chinese ****. Save your money.

You're better off finding older, second hand, USA made Vice Gips on eBay. If you have to have brand new, I would look at Lock-Jaws. Not sure where they are made, but they are much nicer than the new Vise Grips....maybe even nicer than the USA made Vice Grips. Snap-on red vice grip type pliers **** as well.

if they have a roll pin in the release lever they are us made. if it has a riveted pin it is an import. i was told this by an irwin rep and it has been that way on every single packed pair i have checked.
