Combine the versatility of pliers, wrench, and clamp and you get the TEKTON 5 in. Curved Jaw Locking Pliers. With more gripping force than regular pliers, they give you a sure handle on stubborn, slippery, and irregularly-shaped parts. Like a wrench, they turn nuts and bolts, but with the extra bite to loosen stripped fasteners. The curved jaws also lock onto pipes to prevent twisting while fittings are tightened or loosened. The perfect clamp, they hold parts in exact position for cutting, assembling, drilling or welding. Easy to operate, even with gloves on. Once the jaw capacity is set, the one-handed grip and release action lets you quickly lock, unlock, re-position and lock again so it won't slow you down. Classic all-steel construction features forged and hardened steel jaws with deep teeth. There's even an anvil-type wire cutter at the base of jaws to snip soft or hard metal wire.
