Tools and Hardware Reviews of IDL Tools International VG6000BK ViperGrip 6-Inch 2-in-1 Self-Adjusting and Locking Pliers
Customer Review: Pliers with an automatic transmission
Summary: 4 Stars
These pliers are mechanical marvels. I looked up the US Patent to get an idea of the development history and found it was an evolutionary process by the same inventor. The thing took a while to figure out. The hand lever has two degrees of rotational freedom. Closing it from the forward end of the handle with index finger operates the pliers like a 3rd class lever - fast but useless for gripping. (That's probably why the bad reviews.) When the jaws make contact, you're supposed to wrap all fingers around the lever which shifts it to another mode that applies force to the jaws via linkages and widgets that multiple the force, similar to the toggle of a Visegrip pliers. In other words its pliers with an automatic transission. They seem great for light to medium duty, but for heavy industrial use, I'm not sure. The frame may delaminate, twist out of plane, or the cams, springs and rachets could fail. In other words they don't look idiot proof. IDL does offer a lifetime warranty - we'll see, I figure i might have another 30 years left.
