NYTIMES WIRE CUTTER REVIEW

"If you are going to have a set of locking pliers (and we highly recommend that you do), the best ones are the Grip-On 111-10.

After three carpenters tested 10 sets of pliers, the praise for the Grip-On was unanimous. In my 15 years of experience using and reviewing tools, I have never seen a pair of locking pliers that combined such finesse with such aggressive gripping strength. These pliers have by far the smoothest and easiest unlocking mechanism of all the pairs tested. They also have a jaw-sized knob that turns easily, outstanding overall build quality, and a funky orange color that's easy to follow for purely aesthetic reasons".
