Similar to the RoboGrip, which I have two pairs. The work nice but I typically grab the slip-joint pliers out of habit, usually forgetting I have the RoboGrips.

I’ve never used RoboGrip, would they grip that good?
They’ll grip hard enough to hang you on a ladder like he did in the vid if you have a good strong grip. They’re basically the same thing only with a different look.
Me personally, I climb ladders with my hands, not with pliers, so I won’t make any claims as to whether it’d be safe to do so or not. [External image (i15.photobucket.com), not copied]

Lol
I also have the robo grips. I will say they do grip like no other pliers I have used but I don’t know about the whole ladder thing lol.
What Robogrips are you guys using? We had a set in the late 80’s or early 90’s based on Bob Vila’s recommendation and I’ve never forgiven him for it. They were awful
I have Craftsman versions, and so far they have worked perfectly, when I’ve used them.
Mine are just like Kato’s just robo grip brand.
