## Overview

The International VG6000BK ViperGrip 6-Inch 2-in-1 Self-Adjusting and Locking Pliers combine the functionality of multiple tools into one innovative design. With a patented Switch Lever, these pliers can switch between locking and non-locking modes, allowing for 3X faster operation. The unique cam-mechanism amplifies hand force up to 6X, ensuring a secure grip without slippage. Crafted from durable stainless steel, these pliers come with a lifetime warranty, making them a reliable addition to any professional's toolkit.

## Description

From the Manufacturer The ViperGrip pliers are the only pliers with patented 2-in-1 functionality, which enables users to easily transition between locking or non-locking functionality, improving their ability to work more quickly and effectively. with the simple flip of a switch, the ViperGrip transitions from locking pliers for tough jobs - like removing rusted bolts or clamping materials for welding- to non locking pliers for less strenuous jobs - such as detaching already loosened nuts. with these patented innovations, the ViperGrip has both the versatility to help do-it-yourselfers working around the house, on a camping trip, or on the car, and the power to tackle the wide range of industrial applications professionals face each day. Because ViperGrip's jaws automatically self-adjust to lock onto different sizes of materials, there is no need to manually dial the jaws open or closed to find the proper jaw size making any job - especially those hard-to-reach and "one handed" jobs - easier to complete and up to 3X FASTER. Work speeds are also drastically increased. Also, the ViperGrip's patented design multiplies your hand force 6X to virtually eliminate slippage and fatigue, giving you the power to tackle any job - big or small. Company Information: At IDL Tools International, LLC we develop, acquire, license and manufacture innovative, durable, and leadership (IDL) products - specializing in Hand Tools and Hardware accessory products - that allow both professionals and DIY'ers to perform and complete their jobs more effectively and efficiently. Our goal is to build a profitable and sustainable business by consistently exceeding the performance expectations of all of our stakeholders - end users, distributor and retail customers, employees, partners, and investors.

Review: Wish I had them years ago - This tool may have flaws and/or weaknesses, time will tell. I've only been using it for a couple of months but it works so well that I can find no valid reason to give it less than 5 stars. It does what it does better than any other locking pliers that I know of. Vise Grips in all their various forms were a great inovation and still are an essential tool. But my God they're inconvenient to use. Mostly because you need to be constantly resetting the pressure. Heaven forbid you're having to regrip bevelled pieces. For several years now my go to locking pliers has been the Lockjaw brand(looks a lot like a Vice Grip). Great tool. Set the pressure once and forget it until you want a different pressure. Pressure is independent of thickness of the items clamped. However, the set screw is counter intuitive and fully opened the handles go all the way to 90° making one handed operation next to impossible in certain situations. In this handle aspect, Vise Grips really aren't much better. ViperGrip is a complete redesign and a great improvement. I love them. True one handed operation is possible because with the jaws wide open the grip is natural and comfortable. Plus the jaws are spring loaded to open automatically. The regular pliers function was not a selling point for me but as I've used it I'm coming to really like the tool as a pliers and am beginning to think that it's actually a better pliers than your standard pliers. But rather than going with just carrying one tool I'm going to carry two ViperGrips the other being the needle nose variation. Ah criticisms, . . . maybe. The size may not be adequate for larger jobs. Perhaps but, in many cases you can do a one handed lay up with ViperGrips and then apply heavy Vice Grips or other clamping to finish securing the job. Still in many cases easier than trying to set things up with Vise Grips. They're quirky, you have to learn how to use them. Yeah but if there's another tool out there that even more easily does what these do let me know, please. I'll gladly fault these and take away a star or two. But really, . . . it's not that hard. Just play with them. Minimize the clamping pressure and just play. Pay attention to what they feel like as you operate them. The whole process should be smooth and not forced. If not back off and retry. It pretty quickly becomes second nature. At that point your new tool has become an extension of you. What a good tool should be. The one problem I have had, and it's only happened twice, is the return spring on the release latch has slid out of place and jammed between the release lever and frame. There looks to be a little too much gap there. It may just be this pliers but I still see it as a slight design flaw that such would even be possible. If it happens again I will try making an adjustment with a vise or hammer or maybe something more reasonable. If this problem happened more frequently or, particularly if it happens with others I might be tempted to deduct a half star. Barring a major failure I will continue to hope that this tool sells well. You never know it might inspire an even better design.
Review: Fantastic Grip - True to the description, the self-adjusting grip really works and is very useful for hopping between different size nuts quickly. The parallel grip is especially useful for clamping flat surfaces, while the angled inner jaws will still work on bolts. Once you remember that the initial grip must be done at the forward (ie 2nd n 3rd fingers), it will automatically lock in place. It takes some time to figure or even remember but once you do, it's really intuitive. However, the spring that holds the unlocking/switching lever unlatched after a few use, I cant get the spring to latch back at all.The plier still works but the lever is now free swinging and cannot engage the non-locking mode anymore, but otherwise the locking mode still works ok. Lastly, the metal seems a bit soft compare to the normal visegrips, but it doesn't affect the grip. -1 star for the spring that unlatched so easily, doesn't affect the locking function but with the lever hanging freely is annoying. Despite this, I intend to get another one for the self-adjusting and parallel grip. The parallel grip is something that the straight jaws visegrips is poor at, simply due to the pivot point of such pliers. Update: I managed to latch back the spring, but it still come off easily. Though can be latch back fairly easy, still annoying.

### ⭐ great idea that doesn't work
*by K***O on November 21, 2012*

the concept is great but it just doesn't work when i need it. every time i have tried to use this to loosen a bolt, it cinches down like it is supposed to, but when i apply pressure to turn it, the mouth loosens up and doesn't keep grip on the bolts. this is a good tool if you are trying to strip the corners off your bolts. junk!!!
