Crescent 4.5 Mini Jaws

Anybody have feedback on these? I've seen these online for cheap and they are small enough they would fit in my pocket.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

I've got a pair of those and have had no problems either.
Just need to keep in mind that a mini sized anything will not replace a regular size.  That being said, I also have a mini Crescent, adjustable, that I keep along with the channel locks and a Gerber multitool, for small jobs around the house.

I use these for train stuff, and for dissassembling Leathermans. They work great!  However, they really don't open up enough for larger jobs.


In the gray "impluse buy" bins, Tractor Supply will often have these alongside a 4" adjustable wrench and 5" Vise Grips--I own all three and they're great tools. Cheap enough to own multiples of.

I ended up getting a pair of mini jaws. They are definitely compact to say the least!

I ended up returning the mini jaws. I wasn't happy with the quality and finish

Picked up a pair recently.  What I didn't expect was they are only about 1/8" thick.  No issues with the quality.
