If you think HF exceeds the quality of these than I never want to hear your opinion on any tool ever because it's worthless.

I don't buy tools anymore unless they're ones I'll be proud to pass onto my son. These will fit the bill.

It's not a GREAT deal as I bought two pliers for $10 off each but then spent $16 to ship.

These are top of the line and the Malco company has shut down from my understanding. Even though the company has/is shut down, these pliers will actually probably go up in price, even used because they are so well know to be the best. How many Vice Grips / Locking Pliers can say that?

I bought 8 clamps and shipping was 28. I guess it's one of those buy more save more deals.

I have ordered from them before, no issues. You do not get 1-2 day shopping like with Amazon though. Shipping can take a few more days.

Thanks, picked up a 10" and 7" before they no longer exist. Even with $16 shipping it's the cheapest around.

I'm so tempted to buy one of each like you did. Talk me into it.

Very reputable tool folks. Real ones.

I have ordered a ton of items from them over the years.

I'm in for 1 of each. Been meaning to buy them for months.

Malco isn't going out of business, just getting out of these types of pliers.

Never would I have expected to see 10" Malco Eagle Grips going for under $44
Well that was a pleasant surprise and also the quickest was for my wallet to drop an ungodly amount of money.

Just like Shock96 said, Malco isn't going out of business.
They've just permanently stopped production of the best locking pliers that have ever been made.
All their other products, and their production, aren't affected.

I just spent $400 on vice grips. What am I.

I actually already have quite a few made in USA craftsman vice grips, but now I can ditch my crappy car trunk vice grips, put the craftsmans in the trunk, and keep these at the main toolbox. Win win!
