IRWIN® VISE-GRIP® Fast Release™ Locking Tools


IRWIN Industrial Tool is a global manufacturer and distributor of professional grade hand tools and power tool accessories, has taken the next step in locking tools and created a line of VISE-GRIP® Fast Release™ locking tools.

The patented One-Handed Fast Release technology provides a 2X easier, more controlled opening of the locking tool. There is no longer the need to put pressure on a trigger to release the tool. The one-handed feature allows users to fully maximize their efficiency and still be confident that it will be easy to open from any angle by simply pushing or pulling on the release handle. No trigger means more finger room to better accommodate larger hands and welders gloves. The elimination of the trigger also means no pinched fingers during the release.

There are many trade professionals that have come to depend on the locking power of VISE-GRIP and find the patented One-Handed Fast Release beneficial to getting their job done. Welders and metal fabricators appreciate the controlled easy release for one-handed operation and the increased finger room for wearing gloves. Steel stud contractors welcome the increased finger room on the 6” clamp and hail the improved ease in opening given they lock and unlock the tool hundreds of times a day. Automotive mechanics often work in tight spaces and appreciate the ability to easily release the tool from any angle. Operations maintenance and repair professionals and other heavy users value the convenience of the new technology.

IRWIN offers this Fast Release model in 11 individual tools and 8 combination sets. This line includes curved jaw, straight jaw, long nose and C-Clamp models.
