USA Distributor for Grip-on Pliers?

[dr_clyde]

Would like to purchase some of their specialty pliers, anyone have a good source for these that sells in the USA? Preferably with an online store.

Thanks.

Dynamic Tools doesn't have everything in the Grip-On line, but they might have what you want.

Anglo-American Tools was one of the only listed US distributors at one time. Been years since I did anything with them.

C-lock sell straight, curved, long nose, and c-clamp style. grip on have a much wider range, including single jaw models (with a post for hole in the table), chain grip, swivel jaw, pistol grip, pliers for holding horseshoes, axial grip, and a bunch more. The catalog is worth a look, if you're into that sort of thing.

the good doctor didn't tell us, but I suspect he's interested in some of the goofy ones, which look handy in a fab shop.

Yeah, I'm looking mostly at the weird ones. Long reach, small profiles, etc.

I have some of the Blue-Point rebadged ones and was just looking to cut out the middleman.

Chad's Toolbox has a decent selection.

Thanks!

I've bought a lot of stuff from Chad's over the years but they can be hit and miss on delivery; they're not always transparent on stock. So, if you need something in a few days, verify its actually in stock. They are good about immediately replying to the chat feature on their site. Sometimes they list X in stock, never been burned on that, but sometimes they say, "ships in 3 days" meaning they dont have it, and it takes weeks. For me, its not a big deal, but if you need something next week for a job, then inquire.
