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.

They’re also good for assembling and installing cord grips that are close together. The handles have a plastic cushion grip for comfort.
