- Just a quick video showing the differences between the imported versions and domestic versions of vise grips locking pliers. It a bit rough and my first attempt at this type of video so excuse any mistakes. I consider more of a demo and might re-do it at a later date. Thanks! - D

And on Monday the 19th of April, you can buy US Made vicegrips, made in Dewitt NE, from Malco or Snapon.
Awesome! Been waiting for these to be released.
@@danielpatterson6598 I guess snapon has been selling them for a few months now, but at something like $75 a piece, so in theory malco should he cheaper.
I heard they used snapon as a test run, to work out the bugs.
Long nose vice grips are the most underrated tool in the toolbox.
yeah long nose plier of any variety is must for precision work.

Thank you for this excellent information Daniel.
fantastic review really learned something i have three pair in tool box looking for longnose now so really helped..thankyou
Years ago got my dad a mac tool set in a roll up pouch,all vise grip made in USA, back in late 80s
Huh?
Great vídeo thanks,nice vise-grip 👌👌👌
Sometime back I purchased a 5wr vise grip made in Germany on close examination I found that the finish on the piece was extraordinary, even the the pull back spring inside was stainless steel superb German engineering,!!Sennen Dourado Wisconsin Milwaukee
That's cool. I had no idea they ever made them in Germany. Something to keep an eye out for.
You can still buy some old stock malco eagle grips made in dewitt nebraska. They work really well and dominated the competition in Project Farm's locking pliers comparison video. I have the wide grip 7" and 10" and the difference in quality to other brands is insane.
I have 2 vise grips that belonged to my dad, dating from the late '40's. Quality wise, I think the new ones are better, definitely better plating, and the release lever was a big improvement.
I didnt see any listed in the video with the plastic handle's. I dont really like them, but they do work.
Vídeo sensacional! Eu cheguei a adquirir umas 4 peças que constato serem originais, "made in USA". E lamento profundamente que passaram a fabricar fora dos EUA. Eu queria comprar mais da marca, mas agora vou olhar os concorrentes, especialmente os fabricados nos EUA e na Alemanha.
Great Video - I just subscribed to your channel
I love these tools they the bomb
....also, the comment about some made in Taiwan....I was looking at them recently at Ace Hardware, looking to see if I might luck up and find some NOS American ones...No such luck, but I did notice the very small ones(4", 5" maybe?) did say "Made in Taiwan", the larger sizes all said "China". The little Taiwan ones did seem better made/fit finish than the China ones....If they are going to offshore, I would prefer if they made them all in Taiwan, not China.....let China make the flimsy no-brand ones with the huge rivets....
Hate to break it to you, Taiwan is in China!
@@Fucknuts4u ...Nope...both Chinese people, government completely different...Taiwan is where the people fled from the Red Chinese Communists when they took over the country after WW2...Taiwan isn't Communist...I think of Taiwan as the "free" Chinese, Red China is the Commies....
@@dyer2cycle - Semantics. It's the Republic of China, bottom line.
I have one pair of the Irwin’s it’s the 6 inch needle nose ones and the rest I have is Crescent the Crescent ones are well made also.
Mi father call this tool CAIMAN (the standard name for this tool in Chile) back in my childhood in Southamerica....
A Vice Grips is my last resort as they usually tear the nuts but they are handy for clamping or holding stuff.
If you're tearing up nuts with Vise Grips, you don't know how to use them properly. Bottom line.
Привет!
Подскажи пожалуйста, длина какая в сантиметрах на 5:06 й минуте ?
Мне нужен 5 и дюймовый.
Спасибо!
the big difference i found is that the usa version has far less play in the handles.
Which ones do you prefer curved or straight jaws? With or without wire cutter?
The straight long nose actually. Always been my favorite. I used to have an old Schrade version multi tool with the long nose that I always carried but it got ganked at a job one day. Been looking for another for awhile now. I I like having the wire cutter but not a necessary thing.
As an owner of the American made set of Vise grips I can assure you the quality of these far surpasses even the best Chinese manufactured ones that I have encountered. I recommend to friends buy the Dewitt made ones second hand or from old stock (very very rare and if your lucky). The hardness and durability of the jaws just seems to have a quality that Irwin seem to have lost. If my Snap on dealer wanted to buy my Vise grips for what I paid in the 1990s and give me also two set of the latest ones I'd refuse.
i need a 4ln can i still get one ?
Yep. They are still available. www.amazon.com/Irwin-8-Inch-Capacity-4-Inch-Cutter/dp/B00004SBB4
thanks !
Put those classics on a wire wheel to remove the rust and start oiling them! Don't let the classics rust :-(
I do keep them oiled (WD-40) but since I use them I really don't clean them up too much. I do keep my NOS ones in shiny new state however.
When there’s “orginal” written on it, then you’ll know its made in china.
do the 2007 ones say made in USA on the vise grip
I do not believe so.
How long does the Chinese last compare to the American.
It's sadd that all stuff is made now in China it use to be made in USA.
I would say if you take it easy on them they should be fine. I think the old ones do hold up better. But the news ones to me at least seem softer.
Didn't know that,was at Lowe's today seen all those vise grips,to my surprise, made in china
Where is Milwaukee locking pliers made
I believe those are (or at least were) made in taiwan.
I believe craftsman still makes locking pliers in the US
No, they are Made in China now as well.
Well it so happens that I just went to Sears today and unfortunately you are right. Craftman locking pliers are now made in China. It was only less than a year ago that I saw on the package that they were made in the US.
I'm not sure how much weight that carries anymore. I have a set of Craftsman ignition wrenches that were, (supposedly), made in the USA and I kid you not, I've never seen a worse looking tool in my life. I don't think I've ever bought an import tool with a finish as bad as these Craftsman. In fact, the tools at the Dollar store look like they are better quality - and that's no joke. The only reason I kept them is because the set has some extremely hard to find sizes, plus they were on sale for $10. Maybe Stanley will come to the rescue.
malco makes usa made vise grips
Funny video.
The late USA production Irwin ones are pretty sloppy, pretty much the same as the Chinese ones. I have a couple pairs of them. Also, they say "Made in USA of global components". Since "global components" pretty much means "Chinese components", I strongly suspect they were Chinese parts assembled in USA. Not "the original" by any means. I believe any of the Irwin ones are not much good.....
I agree that the Irwin ones are not the best. Pretty much why I stick to the Petersen ones.
Theyre no longer vise grips. They are rice grips. Hehe.
great video.. super lame that crappy metal is the only manufacturing on them. Thay need to be strong.. Now I know why some one stole my'n of my property during a construction. Crappy thing was I never got payed for my hr's of work.
It's sad they went to China maybe they come back home to DeWitt NE
Malco an American company bought the Dewitt building and will be making their versions of American made Vise grips called Eagle grips.
@Connor Not that i know of yet, they are still trying to get production going and testing done, been following them on facebook and no new updates. facebook.com/MalcoProductsUSA/
Which is better the old USA made or the Chinese imports. Consider companies like Sony have their stuff made in China and everyone knows a Sony will last till you get rid of it.
I prefer the old USA ones. (Pre Irwin) I feel they are better made than the newer ones. As for country of origin? That doesn't matter as much. Anyone can make a good quality tool. But I don't feel that the new ones are as good as the old. Not that they can't but that they aren't. But again that is just my opinion.
One way to tell the difference is if you get a rash you know it's from China 😆
hold on... made in usa does not always made in the U.S.A.
Sell me that gift pack it will be nice to have in a box
ahh like it to much myself to sell but thanks for the offer 😊
Got all mine mid 90s. I don't want the chinese version. They don't have the right feel.
Can you imagine a woman going thru and caring so much about locking pliers. LOL Why do you still have them in a package? Are you trying to save them to increase their value 50 years from now? Interesting video nonetheless. Thank you ,Nicholas Cage!
I can't imagine anyone doing this haha. I just collected them for a hobby and keep the usa in the packages. I use the imported ones. Not looking to make money on them just like to keep them pristine.
Just gonna buy harbor freight since its all asian made.
Not all. I think Grip On are made in Spain. And BollmanGrip are Made In Germany. I picked up a few of the BollmanGrip ones from Harry Epsteins. www.harryepstein.com/index.php/tool-brand/bollmanngrip.html
