With jaws that lock into position for a good grip, these pliers are designed to remove stripped, rusted, and tamper-resistant screws. They have vertical and horizontal serrations and a tip shaped to firmly grip the outside of screw heads. Their curved jaws create more points of contact with round and irregularly shaped workpieces than other jaw styles, resulting in a strong, tight hold. They can also be used for general purpose gripping. The jaws are spring assisted, so they open automatically when you release the handles. These pliers also have a wire cutter on the jaw.

Quick-release handles make these pliers easier to open with one hand than lever-release pliers. You can push the handles open with your fingers. They have plastic grips for comfort.

Remove stripped, rusted, and tamper-resistant screws from hard-to-reach spots. These pliers have overlapping serrations that let you twist and pull screw heads without slipping.
