The verdict

1
Malco Eagle Grips
“the eco grips came in on top with an average finish of second place. The eco grips finish in first place in every test, but they do take a little bit more effort to unlock than some of the other brands. While they're a little bit expensive at a price of $35, they would definitely be my choice.”

Best value
Irwin
“the Urwin vice grips performed extremely well considering their price tag of just $26. If you're unwilling to spend the extra for the Eagle grips, the Urwin vice grips are a great option.”
