Transcript:
It’s time for another Cool Tools review. We’re going to take a look at these RoboGrip pliers recommended by Windell Oskay of Evil Mad Scientist.
The RoboGrip pliers are self-adjusting pliers you can use one handed. The design ingeniously hugs the thing you’re grabbing so that pressure is better distributed all around.
You can see it happen as the front of the jaws first make contact, and then the back pulls in to create a secure fit.
It’s great, and it means that instead of reaching for these and fiddling with two hands to find the right setting -- with one hand I can turn a bolt or nut or threaded washer, and feel fairly confident it will get the job done.
These come in a bigger size too, better for plumbing and bigger fixtures. I like this size for most of what I do, and they’ve basically replaced my old-style grooved adjustable pliers.
Also, as a tip, when you want to store these, you can pinch right here when they’re closed and it will lock up.
So those are the RoboGrip self-adjusting pliers. You can pick them up using the link in the description where you’ll also find the Cool Tools podcast with Windell Oskay talking about why he’s a fan of them. And remember, you can see thousands of reader recommended tools like this at cool-tools.org.

Best tool in my tool box. A must have.
I used to make these, in Pennsylvania....now they make them in freaking china
Mine have orange handles and say Made in USA - stamped on the pin. :) You might have even made mine.
i have a pair made in USA, Craftsman. One of my favorite pliers
@@mikeymara411 I lost mine after a decade. They would old and rusty but they got the job done!
I feel ya man .. fuckin' sux
I'm Asian American. And I prefer mines made in America. We need to write Irwin and all these shitty corporate brands to bring it back.
Great video. I own a pair but never used em. I figured they were a gimmick because I never see other guys with em, and I don't really see them on shelves anymore. I'll have to give mine a try
They're so good. I got my great grandfather's set of them
that made in china stamp turned me off a little...cool looking though
When your parents tighten the pop bottle lid so dam tight. Your a little kid your not strong enuff to open it so you use these :D. Thanks to these when I was a kid I snuck my pop.
I have a set of these and they ended up being annoying to use and are now dusty. not recommended.
