I've never written a review before, but for these, I just had to. They solved all the issues I had—both rear brake lines were rust-welded in tight. These vise grips allowed me to get a strong grip on a tiny bit of metal so I could snap it off and free the stuck brake lines.I was replacing my rear axle, and since the brake lines are mounted to the axle, I had to remove them. The brake lines run from the drums, along the axle, through a metal retaining bracket, and onto the chassis. The brake line nuts were so badly rusted that I resorted to sawing through the brackets just to free the brake lines and remove the axle. However, this left me with two brake line nuts stuck incredibly tightly, along with the remnants of the brackets still attached to the lines.I bought these vise grips without expecting much. I already had the correct flare nut spanner and had even purchased a beefy Bahco adjustable spanner, hoping it would solve my problem. Neither worked. However, these vise grips did. They grip incredibly tightly, allowing me to get a firm hold on three sides of the rusty brake line nut. I clamped the remnants of the bracket to the chassis and used these vise grips to wrench both nuts off. Then, I used the teeth portion of the vise grips to hold the bracket steady and, with some pliers, was able to fatigue the bracket until it broke away from the brake line.I also have a badly rounded axle nut that I plan to try these on. I’m not expecting them to work there, but it’s at least worth a shot.As other reviewers have mentioned, this is quite a niche-specific tool. If you intend to reuse the brake lines, these probably aren't for you, as they do bite into the nuts quite a bit. However, if you’re dealing with a stubborn or even rounded-off fixing, you should definitely consider these.I thought I’d be spending hours under my car struggling to remove the brake line nuts, but these made the process much quicker. Plus, I wasn’t constantly worrying about fully rounding off the nuts.If you work on older, rusty fasteners, these are a must-have.

The pliers are very sturdy and powerful. The grip is well engineered and is useful for many applications.The price is very fair.

great tool perfect for tie rods the 10 lw is stupid big warning, wish they had better adjusting screw (common to all vise grips), seems very german a circle with a allan key hole that likes to strip
