got a new toolbox and for whatever reason my wrenchs were the most mixed back of random and wanted a cohesive kit. i have used every one of these multiple times and they all work great. They also look great to boot aesthetically. overall a nice kit for a decent price, I do have some nicer stuff from milwaukee which are nicer but this entire kit cost less than one of those. I would say this in not a professional/mechanics kit but perfect for a hobbiest/homeowner that needs a random set of pliers every so often.

1st. The elephant in the room: ViseGrip locking pliers, by Petersen Manufacturing in Nebraska are no longer manufactured; the follow-on USA-made version "Malco Eagle Grip" is listed for sale on Amazon, even though I have seen notices that Malco has gotten out of the locking-plier business; I see that you can still purchase highest-quality locking pliers from Snap-On tools.I purchased my original ViseGrips 50 years ago. They are still as good as new.OK - now, on to the review.The ACOSEA locking pliers have built-on cushion grips. This means that when the pieces you are clamping don't require you to wear gloves, you can skip the gloves entirely. This is particularly "handy", when you need bare hands to make precision adjustments to the pieces you are working on.Regarding the construction of the ACOSEA locking pliers, aside from the cushion grips, the hardened steel jaw of the original ViseGrips was brazed to the main handle (only one rivet needed in the main handle for the lower handle - See photos 1 and 2) This is a much stronger bond than the 3 rivets that are used in the ACOSEA versions. Will that matter to you? It depends on the degree of force you use and how often you use them at "full force".About 25 years ago, I also purchased inexpensive made-in-Taiwan knock-offs of ViseGrips and they were pretty good. What I noticed about the Taiwanese versions is also true about the ACOSEA - the release lever is positioned much closer to the main handle than the release lever in a ViseGrip. You can see this in photos 1 and 2, as well as photo 3, which shows the ACOSEA (left) and Taiwanese (right) locking pliers. This means that it can be more difficult to release these non-ViseGrip pliers, when you have clamped with full force. I have found that I occasionally need to use a large, flat-blade screwdriver to pry the release lever enough to open the locked non-ViseGrip pliers. This is an inconvenience, but it does not occur frequently.Lastly, as can be seen in photo 4 (ViseGrip on the left), the jaws and steel that is brazed to the actual vise jaw of the ViseGrip is thicker than in the ACOSEA locking pliers (on the right). Will this matter to you? Again, it depends on the amount of clamping force and torque you apply to the work piece.Where the ViseGrip long-nose pliers have a wire cutter with hardened-steel edge, the long-nose ACOSEA pliers have two opposing flat surfaces - definitely not a cutter.

Seems to be as good as real vice grips.

Locking pliers are a very handy tool to have around, especially if you have different sizes and styles to choose from - they come in handy in many situations. The other day I had an issue with my garage door and I needed to disconnect the door from it's drive mechanism. With the door open, and nothing to support it, I used one of these pliers to pinch the door's track just below the lowest wheel; holding the door in place so it wouldn't close.These aren't the most finely crafted of tools, see 2nd and 3rd photos - the jaws don't line up particularly well. You can put pressure on one side of the jaw as you close it and they will line up; but this won't happen unless you make it so.Aside from this small imperfection, I still find these to be well made and suited to their purpose. The rubberized grips are particularly nice for those very cold days! And when you consider the very affordable price, these are a very good bargain.
