Irwin has two new smooth jaws Vise Grip pliers wrenches in an 8″ model IRHT82635 and 10″ model IRHT82636 .
The smooth jaws are designed without teeth so as to not damage fixtures with chrome or plated fittings. Great idea since it makes it easier to install something like a shower head, whereas I’ll usually wrap a small cloth around the fixture as to not damage the finish. With smooth jaws pliers like these, I wouldn’t need to wrap the fixture in a towel which would make work more productive in the long run. The GrooveLock mechanism is said to be design for fast and easy adjustment in confined spaces and the bi-material ergonomic handles are designed for comfort and control.

I’m curious to see the competition that’ll come for the knipex pliers wrench now. I’m assuming their patent expired, given Irwin’s direct duplicate name for their product. My 4 knipex PW’s are always first in any hand tool box or bag I throw together lol Absolutely great tools.
