Pliers for Cord Grips

Assemble and install cord grips in a range of thread sizes. The jaws on these pliers have a small end and a large end to fit different grips—no need for multiple wrenches. Slide the pivot point to open the jaws wider when installing large grips. They’re also thin enough to clamp onto grips in tight spaces. Unlike socket wrenches and other tools, these pliers work with cord grips even after cables have been installed. Plastic grips on the handles make them comfortable to hold.
