Measuring

Scale

These two-in-one tools grip like pliers and turn like a wrench. Forged and precision ground in Germany, their smooth parallel jaws twist fasteners with ease. Clamp them together with the squeeze of your hand to bend, press, or align wire and other parts. They also ratchet, so you can tighten or loosen nuts and bolts without removing the tool. Adjust the width of the jaws with just one hand—a stable joint locks them in place.

Chrome-Plated Steel—The shiny finish stands out in your toolbox. These wrenches withstand moisture better than black-oxide steel but won't hold up to salt water or harsh chemicals.

Cushion Grip—Absorb pressure to make gripping and squeezing the plastic handles more comfortable. They also add slip resistance for a secure hold.

Ultra Grip—Shaped for maximum comfort and slip resistance. These wrenches reduce strain to prevent cramping and soreness during repetitive tasks and long work days.
