help Irwin Vise-Grip 10WR Locking Pliers FAQ
What is the Irwin Vise-Grip 10WR used for?
The Irwin Vise-Grip 10WR is a 10-inch curved-jaw locking plier with a wire cutter. It is used for clamping, gripping rounded fasteners, holding metal during cutting or welding, and freeing stuck bolts.
What does 10WR mean on Vise-Grip locking pliers?
The 10 refers to the approximate 10-inch size, while WR identifies the curved jaw with wire cutter style. It is one of the classic Vise-Grip patterns used in garages, job sites, and repair kits.
Is the Irwin 10WR the same as auto-adjusting locking pliers?
No. The classic 10WR uses a manual adjustment screw at the end of the handle to set clamping pressure. Irwin sells other locking plier variants, but the 10WR is the traditional screw-adjusted model.
Can the 10WR replace a wrench?
It can grip a damaged nut or hold a part when a normal wrench slips, but it is not a perfect wrench replacement. Because locking pliers can mar metal, a socket or proper open-end wrench is still better for clean fasteners.
