Precise-Fit Adjustable Pliers


Flat Jaw Ultra Grip	V-Jaw Cushion Grip

V-Jaw Ultra Grip

Make fine adjustments so you don’t have to squeeze as hard for a firm grip. These tools have up to three times the jaw positions of other adjustable pliers and a push-button release. Hold down the button and slide the jaws to size. The hardened teeth resist wear and prevent slipping.

Flat Jaw—The most common style, these pliers have a broad contact area for gripping objects of various shapes. They’re good for nuts, bolts, sheets, and pipe.

V-Jaw—With the most contact points, these pliers get the tightest grip on round, hex, and irregularly shaped workpieces.

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

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

Channellock—The original adjustable pliers that both tradespeople and maintenance crews rely on. Every component, including the distinctive blue grip, is made in the U.S.

Knipex—Smooth movement and strength that looks as good as it feels. These pliers are forged from chrome-vanadium steel and the jaws are ground until they gleam. All components are engineered and manufactured in Germany.
