Straight Jaw Locking Pliers, ideal for a wide range of welding, automotive, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and woodworking applications Ideal for removing bolts, twisting wire, or pulling nails Straight jaws allow for maximum contact on flat, square, and hexagonal surfaces. Screw adjusts to fit the work piece and exerts a pressure that is maintained, even after repetitive use Guarded release trigger protects against accidental release whilst also enabling the tool to be quickly unlocked when required Additional hex feature on the torque screw means the locking plier can be tightened using a hex key for a better and more secure grip Can additionally be used as a non-slip wrench, a clamp, or portable vice - once locked in place the pliers can be left in position, allowing the user to work with both hands on the work piece
