FAQs

Curved jaws grip round work, straight jaws grip flat work. The locking action is the same on both, so the jaw shape is what the choice comes down to.

The jaws are set with the screw and closed over centre, so the grip is held by the mechanism rather than the hand. The plier can then be left on the work.

So the jaws just close over centre on the work. Too loose and the plier releases under load; too tight and it will not close, or closes hard enough to mark the work.

140mm, 180mm, 185mm, 220mm and 250mm, with the longer bodies giving more leverage both for the grip and for releasing it afterwards.

One at 230mm combining the locking action with a long nose, which reaches into a position a standard jaw cannot get to at all.

Serrated jaws will, which is what gives the grip. Where the surface matters, the work is protected rather than the plier being set loosely and slipping.

Curved jaws grip round work and straight jaws grip flat work. The locking action is the same on both, so the jaw shape is what the choice comes down to, and a curved jaw on a flat surface holds on two points rather than along the face. Both shapes are held across most of the length range so the jaw is chosen without changing the size.

Locking is what separates these from any other plier. The jaws are set to the work with the screw and then closed over centre, so the grip is held by the mechanism rather than the hand. That is what lets the plier be left on the work while something else is done. Releasing is done with the lever rather than by pulling the jaws apart against the mechanism.

Setting the screw correctly is the part that is often rushed. Too loose and the plier releases under load; too tight and it will not close over centre at all, or closes so hard that it marks the work permanently. Setting it on a scrap piece first is quicker than setting it three times on the work.

Length gives leverage for both the grip and the release. Sizes here run 140mm, 180mm, 185mm, 220mm and 250mm, with a long nose form at 230mm that reaches into a position a standard jaw cannot.
