1. Use socket wrench more easy

2. Hey guys these are self adjusting grips…let me just adjust the grip…oh I need to adjust it a little more….yeah I need more grip let me adjust it a little bit more 😅😅😅😅

3. What in the holy fuck are you doing

4. Torch easiest way

5. Tidak bagus 👎👎

6. Vise grip's adjustment at the back – rather than inside – is way more convenient

7. These look cool, I used to only use Vice Grips brand but now I only use Milwaukee torque lock, they are SO GOOD

8. I have a set of these I inherited from my grandfather 32 years ago. They are made in USA and are called LeverWrench.

9. I have these and dont like them

10. 3 times more for to regular adjusted vise grips not worth it.

11. This video does such a disservice to these and any other automatic locking pliers, 90% or more of the comments seem to be from people who have no idea what the benefit of these are and the rest try and explain only to be blown off by die hard vice grip owners who have not personally compared the two. While I have not yet bought these I have for several years owned a vintage 10 in Lever Wrench automatic locking pliers, and can honestly say I grab them every time over all the vice grips and similar other brand locking pliers I have. With that said, the Lever Wrench I have is a well designed and high quality product, seems to be a late model upgrade, compared to their originals, as it is more like the design that was rebranded Stanley after they bought the rights to the tool. Also i know there are other cheap knockoffs of the mechanism of the tool in the video that I have and was dissapointed because of the quality the tool was less than spectacular, compared to my lever wrench thus they don't get used either. So after all these years I finally got around to researching these particular tools some more and found a few new brands marketing them and inevitably found this video and could not believe the comments were so negative, especialy since the video did not demonstrate at all a situation where they would show the most use of the mechanism they have vs traditional vice grip. Since I love my automatic locking pliers by Leverage Tool Co. and even tho I think Lever Wrench design is better than these I will soon find out as I will be purchasing more of these type of pliers, that if this video was done properly, to display the ease of use it generates for some types of work like working with, multiple size of pipe, or fasteners, especialy when fabricobbling mocking up and tering down to try something else, this is by far the only way to go (as in an [automatic locking pliers] choose your brand here), at least for the time conscious among us, some people have more time than others my Lever Wrench has saved me enough time to be out shopping for more!

12. so stupid, its literally a shittier redesign of something that alrdy worked and works better.

13. A pipe wrench is far better with stuck objects.

14. Eric, thanks your the awesome videos man, keep up the good work. Your helping out a lot of people. Don't worry about the haters! I learn a ton from your videos and I'm also highly entertained!

15. I would have like to seen you go @ the bleeder valve with the "Go to socket"!

16. Miami Vice …grippers.

17. man you missed the point, wasted the review

18. bought these years ago off the Matco truck, I could never get them to clamp tight enough for what I needed them for so I took them home where they still collect dust.

19. Stupid tool. Designed only to be different.

20. Thanks for the review Eric. Not a big locking pliers user myself. Probably bad memories from my youth as that was my goto wrench on my bikes. Needless to say 90% of the nuts on my bikes were rounded to hell.

21. Am I the only one that noticed that car had no brake fluid in it.

22. good set Ive had a Chinese made pair for 6 yrs now they do make the best tools.

23. One word —- Knipex…..ok, two words —- Knipex Cobras 😉

24. I really don't like this new tool. I think the best is the american old fashion tool to regulate it as u were saying and I do have it from stanley brand but I am sorry to tell u u are not using the right tool specially for this rusted screw bleeder. try this please. A pipe wrench will do the job. I had the same problem with one of my rear brake cylinder. https://cdn2.ridgid.com/resources/media?key=b8949363-2455-4a76-a24e-d98049de77a7&languageCode=en&countryCode=US&type=image

25. A knipex Raptor would own that, and not ruin the bolt.

26. They look good, and I kind of agree about having to push on the adjuster if you were going to say it's not comfortable. But I don't recall it ever being possible to move the adjuster after the grips were clamped tight.
    The original Vice Grips are super simple in comparison and are a quality tool, along with the early UK version Mole Grips. Personally I'm using Kamasa tools version (medium type price) and swapped two track rod ends on my car today, with my 8" grips holding the track rod steady to prevent it rotating out of place as I cracked the locking nuts loose.

27. Great video.

28. There is always a right tool for the job. I only reach for vice grips/something like this when I either am shit out of luck, or don't care. These, along with Crescent wrenches are pretty much only in the box for when I am opting to break something, rather than save it. I know you're trying to maintain sponsorship and make a living, but you're a professional, and I don't ever see you actually putting these pieces of shit to a bleeder. Frozen or not. The knipex stuff on the other hand… Good call.

29. i like the milwaukee pliers better you can adjust them while they are lock on the Bolt .

30. Lolz!! It's not the right way man to give review for this product.!! basically here the Pliers Function to make a hard-grip nothing else, you need to follow techniques how to loos it, like WD40, heating or cleaning. Its totally the game of Forces that you are applied and the torque… ( Sorry for my English) T.C

31. great review

32. Shilling. No more no less.

33. No sale here. Big awkward pair of pliers with a very inconveiniently located adjustment. I have this type of plier in several brands. Vice Grip is the best performer by far.

34. Ah the good old" one fits all "-nut-f**ckers haha

35. man

    you used to be good
    🙁

36. Eric. Are you actually showing us this tool? Really? Come on dude. It's getting worse by the day. That tool is a horrible idea/design. Fix cars for us!!!!

37. why would you use a locking pliers on a bleeder valve instead of a box wrench?

38. You need more Audi/Volkswagen's in the shop lol. I'm surprised there isn't one sitting in the background every time a new video is uploaded. Always breaking, and lots of money to be made. My Volkswagen could use a few replacements and would love to get a throughout explanation to do it here.

39. Dan here from AUTOGRIP. Thanks for the review Eric! Just to clear up a little confusion we've overheard in the comments… One of the best things about Autogrip is that you don't actually need to keep adjusting the force with the knob in the handle. If you open the package and set the force the pliers will work perfectly from one project to the next.

40. Horrible "review"… you clearly didn't understand the product. You failed to explain the main advantage of the new mechanism, gave us some BS about having to fiddle with them less than normal Vise Grips(you sure fiddled with it a lot)… less of a review than simply you shilling for a company that paid you to showcase their product… and you shilled poorly. If it was my product, I'd be upset…

41. why didnt you used a socket 10mm for that bleeder valve? Now that bleeder is striped. i know you wanted to showcase the tool but i bet there where better situations to show case it imo

42. Don't like them.
