Irwin 2078508 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes do the Irwin Vise-Grip groove joint pliers come in, and which part numbers are they?
Two lengths: the 8-inch is Irwin part 2078508 and the 12-inch is 2078512. Both are the V-jaw groove joint style, sold individually rather than as a set. Pick the 8-inch for tighter work under sinks and in panels, the 12-inch when you need more jaw opening and leverage on larger fittings.
2) Will these pliers grip a round pipe or a chrome fitting without slipping?
That is what the V-jaw is for. The jaws are machined with right angle teeth that bite in all directions, so round and irregular stock stays put instead of rolling out of the jaws. Irwin lists plumbing and pipe fitting among the intended uses. On polished chrome trim you still want a cloth or tape over the finish, because toothed jaws will mark it.
3) Are Irwin Vise-Grip groove joint pliers made to any recognized standard?
The groove joint design meets or exceeds ANSI specification, which is the line an MRO or institutional buyer usually needs for a tool crib purchase. No other certification is claimed for them.
4) What are these pliers made of, and will the cutting edge hold up?
Body is nickel chromium steel with a rust-resistant finish, and the cutting edge is induction hardened so it stays sharp longer than an untreated steel jaw. That combination is why they hold up to daily shop and jobsite use rather than occasional homeowner duty.
5) Do these groove joint pliers have a comfort grip or bare steel handles?
They come with Irwin's ProTouch grips, which are non-slip and anti-pinch, so the handles will not close on the web of your hand under load. That matters on a long day of repetitive gripping and turning.
6) Is this one pair of pliers or a set?
Each order is an individual pair, not a kit. If you want both the 8-inch (2078508) and the 12-inch (2078512) on the truck, order them separately.
7) Where are Irwin 2078508 pliers manufactured?
Country of origin is China. Worth knowing if you are buying against a procurement spec that asks for origin disclosure.
