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.
Flat-jaw pliers are designed to grip flat objects.
V-jaw pliers give you the best grip on round stock, tubing, and pipe.
Combination-jaw pliers have a flat jaw for general purpose gripping and a curved jaw for round material.
Pivoting-jaw pliers have a bottom jaw that automatically adjusts to the shape of your workpiece.
Grooved-jaw pliers hold round material inline with the body of the pliers.
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 on the jaw.

Screw-Extracting Locking Pliers
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.

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.
