Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum clamping width of the Gedore 6406700?

The maximum clamping width is 32 mm, which is equivalent to 1.1/4 inches.

What material is the Gedore 6406700 made from?

It is constructed from Gedore Vanadium steel 31CrV3, which is nickel-plated for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

How do I ensure a firm grip on different material shapes?

The special jaw shape is designed for a three-point contact. For irregular shapes, ensure the points of contact are firm. For very delicate materials, consider using protective padding.

How does the quick-release lever work?

The quick-release lever is spring-loaded and, when engaged, holds the jaws securely. Pushing the lever disengages the lock, allowing the jaws to open.

Can this grip wrench be used for fine or delicate work?

While it provides a secure grip, its heavy-duty nature and jaw design are best suited for mechanical and engineering tasks. For very delicate materials, care must be taken, or alternative tools may be more appropriate.

What is the overall length of this grip wrench?

The overall length (L) is 230 mm, and it is referred to as a 10-inch grip wrench.

How should I clean and maintain the grip wrench?

Clean jaws and screw mechanism regularly. After use, wipe dry and lightly oil moving parts to prevent rust. Store in a dry environment.

Troubleshooting

Grip is not secure or slips

Ensure the adjusting screw is tightened sufficiently. Check that the workpiece is correctly positioned within the jaws for optimal three-point contact. Clean the jaws of any oil, grease, or debris.

Quick-release lever is difficult to operate

Inspect the lever mechanism and spring for dirt or obstructions. Lubricate the pivot points of the lever and the adjusting screw with a light oil. Ensure the jaws are not fully extended beyond their safe range.

Jaws do not open or close smoothly

Clean the adjustment screw threads and the jaw tracks. Remove any rust or buildup. Apply a suitable lubricant to the screw and guide mechanism.

Visible wear or damage on jaws

Discontinue use immediately. Contact Gedore or a qualified tool repair service for inspection or replacement of worn parts. Continued use with damaged jaws can be unsafe and ineffective.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a very firm and secure grip due to the 3-point contact design.
  • Durable construction with high-quality Vanadium steel and nickel plating ensures long-term use.
  • Reliable locking mechanism and easy-release lever enhance user efficiency and safety.
  • Withstands extreme loads without compromising grip or structural integrity.
  • Suitable for a wide range of mechanical and engineering applications.

Cons

  • The specialized jaw shape may not be ideal for gripping rounded or irregular objects without additional protection.
  • Not designed for use on very delicate surfaces where marring could occur.
  • Weight might be a factor for prolonged overhead use.
  • Primarily suited for heavy-duty applications, may be overkill for light-duty tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Open the jaws by operating the quick-release lever.
  2. Position the jaws around the workpiece.
  3. Adjust the screw until the jaws are firmly gripping the material.
  4. The quick-release lever will lock the jaws in place.

Compatibility:

This grip wrench is designed for gripping, clamping, and holding various materials, primarily metal components, pipes, and fasteners. Its effectiveness is maximized on materials with edges or surfaces that can engage with the three-point contact jaw design. For softer materials or those requiring surface protection, consider using protective pads or shims between the jaws and the workpiece.

Care:

  • Clean the jaws and the adjustment screw regularly to remove debris that could impede function.
  • After use, especially in corrosive environments, wipe the tool dry and apply a light coat of oil to the mechanism and jaws to prevent rust.
  • Inspect the jaws for any signs of wear or damage before each use.
  • Store in a dry place, preferably in a tool chest or bag, to protect it from the elements.
