OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade 10-Inch Locking Pliers

The 10-Inch Locking Pliers are an indispensable tool for any industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) toolkit. Designed to act as a portable vise, these pliers provide immense gripping power that standard pliers cannot match. Constructed from high-grade, heat-treated alloy steel, they are engineered to withstand the rigors of daily professional use, resisting wear, bending, and breakage even under high torque.

The curved jaw design is particularly versatile, allowing the tool to securely grip rounded objects like pipes and stripped bolt heads, as well as square or hex nuts. The hardened teeth are angled to bite into the material, ensuring a non-slip grip that increases safety and efficiency. An integrated wire cutter at the base of the jaws adds functionality, allowing users to cut soft wire without switching tools.

Operation is intuitive and reliable. The adjustment screw at the base of the handle allows the user to fine-tune the jaw opening and clamping pressure to the exact requirements of the workpiece. Once set, the pliers lock into place with a satisfying click, holding the object indefinitely without requiring constant hand pressure. The classic guarded trigger release ensures that the tool stays locked until you are ready to release it, preventing accidental opening while working.

These pliers are finished with a durable nickel plating that provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, extending the tool's lifespan in damp or harsh workshop environments. Whether you are removing stubborn fasteners, clamping materials for gluing, or simply need a third hand in the shop, these 10-inch locking pliers deliver the performance and reliability required by professionals.

FAQ

For standard 10-inch locking pliers, the jaw capacity is typically around 1-7/8 inches (48mm), allowing them to grip a wide range of pipe and bolt sizes.

There is a knurled adjustment screw at the end of the handle. Turning it clockwise increases pressure and closes the jaw gap, while turning it counter-clockwise reduces pressure.

Yes, these locking pliers typically feature a built-in wire cutter located at the base of the jaws, suitable for cutting soft wire and small hardware.

Yes, the tool features a nickel-plated finish that provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in damp or industrial environments.

Absolutely. They are widely used in welding to clamp metal pieces together for tacking. The all-steel construction withstands the heat and environment of a welding shop.

While the nickel plating helps repel some spatter, it is good practice to use anti-spatter spray on the tool if it will be very close to the arc to ensure longevity.

Yes, welders often clamp these pliers onto a workpiece and then attach the ground clamp to the pliers if there is no convenient spot on the metal itself.

Yes, the teeth are induction hardened to bite into metal surfaces securely, preventing the tool from slipping during high-torque applications.
