Smaller than I expected. But the quality you can always expect from vice grip.

It's very good at hex. Other than that it's kinda useless. I got this one for holding one end of a bolt while I fasten the other hands free. Use to do it with two wrenches one hand on each.Got this then I just clip these on one side and go to town on the other side.Sadly these only work with hex. And some of my fasteners are square. I carry a normal jaw vise grip now but this is a great tool if you have a bunch of hex fasteners. It's not as versatile as the regular jaw versions and sadly these have a range of what sizes they can lock onto.

As the description says, it's the 4LW model.Overall length of tool is 4.75.I believe this is the smallest model that Irwin / Vice-Grip makes.This will handle the smallest of fasteners.There are larger 7 and 10 models...

This looks like it could be the perfect tool for stuck brake line fittings, but you'd be wrong about that like I was. It catches two faces of the nut just fine, but the rounded nub on the opposing jaw doesn't provide enough surface area and just serves to round off the nut. One day someone is going to make parallel jaw locking pliers that will properly clamp a brake line fitting. I can't believe that tool doesn't exist yet.

I bought this tool to remove a tubing nut that was only accessible with a 2 sided open end wrench. I was able to get a good 3 sided grip on the nut which was what i was after. However, in spite of having a good grip i was still unable to turn the nut no matter how hard I pulled. I ended up cutting the tube out with a hacksaw and then putting the part in a vice and then i needed a torch to heat it up, an 18 pipe wrench with a 2 foot extension on it to finally get that nut to turn. So i guess it is a good tool but not up to the task i had in mind so into the tool box it goes to wait for another opportunity to prove its usefulness.

Work well but should have serrated contact jaws to securely grip pipe and round material without slipping.
