RLMo: Odd looking device. Built well. Does well at spreading the forks on my mower to replace the wheel.

J. Bruha: Did you ever wish you had a pair of locking pliers that would push things apart, instead of squeeze them together? If so, these may be for you. It has two sets of adjustments, the standard bolt built into the locking pliers, and another adjustment that is a bolt on one of the jaws that you thread in or out to help set the distance between the 'jaws'. This bolt can be substituted with longer or shorter bolts from a hardware store if you want a larger range or adjustments. These are really good for positioning things, to hold something a certain height or distance for assembly or welding. Construction is pretty good, not as good as the old made in USA Vice-Grips, but as good as most imports are these days. Really handy if it is something you can use. Range of adjustment is really only limited by how long of bolts you wish to use (as it gets longer threaded rod is easier to work with), but realistically, you can only go so wide before the length of the bolt makes it start getting flimsy. Better to use a block or something in those instances. Works well, and the little crank on the bolt allows you to make adjustments without having to open and close the handles. A hole in the bolt...

kerbear: I have had these for over a year now. They are a bit of a specialty product and I find I don't need them very often, but when I do, They are worth their weight in gold. Very strong spreading action. Handy when you are working within tight tolerances and need that little bit extra.

G. J. Owen: This is my second tool, the first one lasted for years before it snapped. Such a useful tool that I bought another.

Rick: Was purchased mostly for car rear drum brakes in order to replace piston cylinders without having to remove shoes & springs assembly but can be used for many other applications.

Verman8r: I like the theory behind this product but, it is not as robust as I like my welding tools to be.

Amazon Customer: Other than being smaller than I expected. They work great in tight spaces to move materials that extra amount needed to tack the material together.
