Triplett LongLockers 15-inch Extended Reach Locking Pliers with Non-Slip Handles (TT-200)

Excellent product. Great quality & very versatile.

Good, sturdy, seemed to be built well and a good value. Did the job I bought them for, and I’m sure will be very helpful in many automotive and other projects I have!

Awesome tool that I wish I had years ago to save me in hard to reach places. Tool is sturdy and there is no slack. My go to!

Not professional quality but good for home use

CONSTRUCTION> A little larger (not counting the "extension", that is the lengthen neck) than a 6" Irwin Vice-Grip Long-Nose pliers. Irwin Tools 1402L3 6LN Original Long Nose Locking Pliers, 6-Inch> Much smaller, and lighter construction than a 9" Irwin Vice-Grip pliers. [ASIN:B00004SBB2 Irwin 15-9LN Vise Grip 2-7/8-Inch Jaw Capacity 9-Inch Long Nose Plier with Wire Cutter]]> Well built, but not quite the quality of "real" Irwin Vise-Grips---but only a tool nut would notice.>>> The action is smoother, and the durability can be enhanced by working automotive grease into all the moving parts---but that applies even to Irwin Vise-Grips.> These are approximately equal to Irwin 6" vise-grips plus an extension, which puts them into a "moderate duty" category---a guy with normal strength can damage them. Not easily, but they can be overstressed.> The cushioned hand-grip makes for a good comfortable grip.GREAT WEED PULLERS> Specifically, the Triplett Longlockers, are terrific for pulling up small saplings, 1/8" to 1/2" diameter (depending on the plant species and the soil). The strength you'd normally have to put into griping the sapling can be put into pulling. So you can easily pull larger saplings than you could by hand.> Because of the extension you don't have to bend over to pull up the saplings. You can just "walk along" and pluck up saplings or similar weeds as you stroll through your garden.> The design of the Long-Nose jaws (either of true Vise-Grips or these Tripletts) means that you don't constantly have to adjust the adjustment screw. Once properly adjusted, just grip the smaller saplings (~1/8") by the tip, thicker by the middle, and thickest (~1/4") by the inside teeth. Note that ordinary Irwin Vice-Grips work well for weed pulling, but the long-nose jaw models are even better for this purpose than the "curved" or "straight" jaw models.> You can pull weeds other than tree saplings (such as vines with long taproots) if there is a stem you can grab.> Obviously terrific for pulling poison ivy, because you don't have to get your hands near the plants.> Great for pulling weeds from cacti beds, short thick rose beds, bromeliads or other spiny--thorny plants.WISHLIST> I only wish for a Triplett Longlocker about 3" longer with slightly heavier construction.> Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.

Love it ! Wish I had one years ago

This is a great tool that works...used to attach a speedometer cable to the transmission ...without this extended vice grip I would have needed to remove the rear Trans mount

This thing is great!! Replaced a radiator & radiator upper & lower hoses today & this thing was super useful!
