About IRWIN VISE-GRIP Linemans Pliers, 9-1/2-Inch
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
69% liked the adjustable jaw capacity, but 31% found it limited
The grips of the pliers would slide off.
81% praised for its exceptional cutting performance, while 19% found it struggled with thick wires
I have no problem cutting drywall and other similar screws with the pliers. It also cuts through wire like a breeze and can cut up to 25-30 mm sq copper wire with little difficulty.
IRWIN pliers cut with ease and can twist up to 4 solid copper wires without failing.
I can only cut small cables with the cutters as they do not open wide enough.
85% found it comfortable to hold and use, but 15% experienced hand fatigue
The grips are made of good material, but they might be difficult for someone with smaller hands.
I find the pliers uncomfortable to hold as the handle is too far apart.
I am having trouble getting used to the grip of the pliers. They feel boxy and hard compared to a Klein set, which typically fits to your grip easier.
73% found it lightweight and portable, but 27% found it too heavy
Sometimes I need big pliers, but they are not comfortable to carry around.
