− Description
Indexing Round Jaw
Shaped for maximum contact on pipes, round ttings, and
hex nuts, the deep round jaws encircle the workpiece with
sharp teeth set at opposing angles to each other.
As the pivoting jaw closes, it shifts forward, indexing into
position relative to the xed jaw and setting the teeth into a
rm directional bite that won’t budge—similar to the way the
oating and xed jaws of a pipe wrench work together. This
action compounds the leverage of the pliers as they close,
generating extremely high clamping pressure as they are
being locked.
Pull-to-Release Lever
Our pull-to-release lever allows you to clamp, release,
reposition, and clamp again with one hand and with more
control than a traditional pinch-style trigger.
Wide Adjustment Knob
A generously sized knob with deep diamond tread knurling makes
for easy tensioning even if you’re wearing heavy gloves or have
slippery hands.
The round shape of the knob allows you to quickly spin it with your
ngertips like a dial to make adjustments much more easily than
is possible with other paddle-type knob designs.

Tensioning Through-Hole
Create a T-handle by inserting a screwdriver or hex key into
the hole in the adjustment knob. With this extra leverage,
you can lock the pliers onto the workpiece and gradually
add or release tension to ne tune the clamping force.
Strong Jaws and Teeth
Our jaws are made from 4140 chrome molybdenum steel, an alloy
that offers an excellent combination of toughness and
machinability with a natural resistance to corrosion.
The teeth are hardened to HRC 45-50, meaning you should have
no trouble with chipping or stripping even on fasteners up to
Grade 8 or Class 12.9.
Classic Finish
Before assembly, the individual jaw, handle, lever, and
crossbar parts are shot peened to remove scale and debris.
This process smooths imperfections, making the surfaces
even and consistent. The nal nish is a durable nickel
plating that protects against corrosion.

High-Strength Rivets
Clamping force at the jaws directly depends on the strength and integrity of the pliers’ three main rivets—which together make up the 4-point mechanical
structure of the pliers. To make sure ours can withstand high shear forces, these rivets are made from tough 4135 chrome molybdenum steel.
