This is an all around nice set of locking pliers. This is tool set 1-1120 lockinb pliers set from Capri Tools. This is a set of 7 pliers in all. The set includes 3 curved jaw, 2 long nose, and 2 clamp pliers. This all comes in a memory foam type mat to keep them in place and organized.
To start with I have used the 2 clamp pliers for welding. They have worked great at holding whatever I needed to put together. I have also over tightened these pliers and locked them on to see how they do under stress. They did not fold or twist when locking in place like a lot of the cheap pliers on the market. They held form nicely, although I do not recommend forcefully over tightning because they will eventually have issues. I have used the small set of long nose pliers for some taking out a few stripped bolts on a couple of things around the house. I have used this set of pliers on the hatch back rods that have lost the ability to hold up the back door. These clamped on to the rods and stopped the door from coming down.
The next thing is once you spin the screw in and out on the pliers they stay in place. I have had pliers that move everytime they are released and then I have to readjust everytime I want to use them on the same project(annoying).
Now we move to the clamping surfaces of the pliers. The clamp pliers do not have teeth like the others in the set but they do offer a fairly large flat clamping surface that seems to hold very well. The other 5 pliers have teeth in the clamping surface. This is great for bolt heads that have stripped since these teeth seem to dig in well when you attach the pliers.
The relases on the handles are very easy to use. Once you have the clamp you are using in place you press the release and these pliers jump apart from the surface. You will need to be ready for this action. I was happy to see that there was this much spring in the pliers when released.
This set of pliers are made to be very durable. They have strong rivetts through out the entire set. The formed metal for the pliers are very solid. I have dropped the clamping pliers a dozen times when releasing them from my welding projects and they do not seem to be taking any damage at all.
The tray these plies come in makes it really nice for upright tool boxes. The tray is adjustable with cut out tabs along the top and right side. This makes it where you can adjust it to the size of your drawer. This keeps the pliers in one place, organized, and easy to find. The tray fills much like memory foam that you find in many of the pillows, cushions, and even beds where it springs back to shape if something heavy is placed on top of it.
If you are in the market for a great set of locking pliers this is one I recommend picking up. There are 7 pliers in total for any kind of small project you may have, built very durable, release is nice, and the pliers with teeth actually bite into the surface. This set of pliers also comes with the storage tray and a lifetime warranty. I would like to thank Bbw brands and affiliates for sending me this set of Capri Locking Pliers to try out and share my opinion.
