These are great, got a pair of mole grips which when in the closed position they are lop sided. Desperately need to change them.. Always come in handy so I will grab these. Cheers OP.

These may not be any better, I've bought brand new (albeit cheap) grips and they're skewed straight from opening the pack!

Mine are well..WELL used. Probably 20 years old and the thinner nosed ones. These will just pop in the tool cabinet in the shed for when i do need them. I don't use tools that often so for a occasional use i think they'll be ok?.

Some WD-40, a vice grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone..

Theresa May could try this with her new cabinet, apparently it has loads of problems.

Have a pair of these originals in front of me at the moment (my father's) which are pre-1960 as I played with them as a child.
I have had many pairs of cheaper ones as well, but they all end up going into the recycling bin.

"Mole grips were developed by Thomas Coughtrie in 1955, then managing director of M. K. Mole and Son.[2] Mole Grips were manufactured in Newport South Wales just off the M4 by the Brynglas Tunnels, travelling west the Mole sign was visible immediately before entering the tunnel." wiki
Great price so long as they are up to the job!
