Locking Pliers
Lock the jaws in a vise-like grip around a workpiece and these pliers stay clamped in place to leave your hands free. Turn the screw to adjust the pressure and squeeze the handles to lock.
Curved-jaw pliers are the most common style and provide a good grip on a variety of shapes.
V-jaw pliers give you the best grip on round stock, tubing, and pipe.
Pliers with lever release open when you press the lever.
Pliers with quick release are easier to open with one hand than lever release—push the handles open with your fingers. They have plastic grips for comfort.
Pliers with wire cutter have a blade for occasional wire-cutting tasks.
