Review of Craftsman 9-45305 3 Piece Auto Lock Plier Set

I got one of these things about a year ago (the 7in).This is a very cool tool.There is an adjusting "nob" right above the handle grips, between the grips (it's the little silver thing in the picture).You turn the nob in either direction to adjust the pressure level that the pliers clamp down on.These pliers are NOT like vise grips however!The difference here, is that the Auto Lock's clamp down ALL the way, EVERY time, unlike with vise grips, which you have to finesse in order to get them to clamp down on your object.

Let me explain this differently... when you turn the nob in the middle, you adjust how much pressure the Auto Locks will apply on any given thickness of material.They will apply the same pressure to something that is one inch thick, AS WELL AS something one millimeter with the same setting applied.This pressure level can be very light pressure, or very heavy pressure, depending on which way you turn the nob.A very useful feature!They're like vise grips on steroids!!!

My only gripe would be, when these (or at least MINE) are set to the very light pressure setting, they tend to snap back out (or release) when I remove my hand.The SHOULD clamp down on the object, without you having to keep your hand there.Harder pressures work fine, it's just the light pressure that gives me difficulty.
