Gene, did you buy that from the hardware store at the 5th floor of the mall? I hope that Shrade tool on sale is still available. Nice tool!

It looks like an entirely different mechanism than the usual vice-grip locking pliers. How does it compare Gene?

I'ts all metal, Donald.

Compared with my other locking pliers, lockjaw seemed as tough as the original vise grip ,crescent and nicholson. As advertised, "Lockjaw Automatic Locking Pliers make jobs faster and easier." and cheap at 558 pesos or 11 USD and lastly, it's made in USA.(some metal parts are from Mexico)

Now that's worth looking into. I'm not a "gimmick" tool kind of guy, but this looks like a legitimate and significant improvement over traditional locking pliers. Thanks for sharing this.

I've been meaning to get some lockJaws for some time, but, as with all good Yankee things, it would be cheaper for me to raise a family, than buy some.


Any thoughts on them so far?
