Craftsman CMHT81721 12-Inch Groove Joint Locking Pliers with Multi-Zone Bi-Material Grips

These pliers are hefty and the jaws grip tightly. The multi-zone grip is comfortable and provides good control. I used them to loosen a stubborn nut, and they worked great. The only downside is they're a bit heavy, but that's expected for the size.

I've used these for plumbing and automotive work. The locking mechanism works well and the jaws are true. The grips feel nice, even after extended use. Highly recommend for anyone needing a solid pair of groove joint pliers.

They do the job, but the locking adjustment is a bit stiff to operate with one hand. The grips are okay, but not as comfortable as I'd like. For the price, they're decent, but I've had better ones.

Picked these up for my workshop. They open wide and grip tightly on larger objects. The jaw teeth are sharp and bite into metal well. The bi-material grips are a nice touch. Overall, a good value for the money.

These pliers feel really solid. The handles are comfortable, and the multi-zone grip gives you a secure hold even with oily hands. The locking mechanism is easy to adjust. I've used them for electrical work and they've become my go-to pair.

I received a pair where the jaws don't align perfectly, causing them to slip on smaller objects. It's frustrating. I tried to adjust them, but it didn't help. For the price, I expected better quality control.

The grips are really nice, they don't slip even when my hands are sweaty. The pliers open wide enough for most jobs, and the locking adjustment is smooth. The only issue is that the teeth are aggressive and can mar soft materials, but that's expected.

These pliers are tough. I've used them to bend metal and hold bolts, and they've never let me down. The locking mechanism holds firm. The grips are comfortable and reduce hand fatigue. For ten bucks, they're a steal.
