Push and hold the button to adjust the jaws, and then release the button to lock them in place. These tools provide the gripping power of a pipe wrench and the adjustability of pliers.

Cushion-grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort.

Ultra-grip pliers have grips made of hard and soft materials for comfort and slip resistance.

Pliers for Cord Grips

With two different-sized jaws and a slip joint, these pliers work with a wide range of cord grip thread sizes—no need to keep other tools in multiple sizes on hand. Unlike other tools, including socket wrenches, they can even be used on cord grips after the cords are installed. These pliers have thin jaws, so they fit onto cord grips in tight spaces. They’re also good for assembling and installing cord grips that are close together. The handles have a plastic cushion grip for comfort.
