Designed for automotive mechanics, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts, these 10-inch long nose locking pliers offer unparalleled access to cramped engine bays or tight assembly areas thanks to their unique 90-degree angled head. While they provide excellent grip strength and one-handed convenience, their specialized design may be overkill for general-purpose tasks that do not require reaching around obstructions.

While they are useful for reaching wires, they are not insulated. Always ensure electrical circuits are disconnected before use.
Each plier is 10 inches (250mm) in total length.
These pliers are primarily designed for gripping and holding; while the serrated jaws may mark soft wire, they are not intended to act as wire cutters.
This refers to the Rockwell C hardness scale, indicating the pliers are hardened to a level that balances strength and durability without being overly brittle.
This product comes as a 2-piece set.
The nickel plating is designed to be highly resistant to rust and corrosion, but it should still be wiped clean after exposure to moisture or chemicals.
Adjust the knurled screw clockwise to increase jaw pressure before squeezing the handles closed.
Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the pivot point and work the handle back and forth several times.
Clean the jaw teeth with a wire brush to remove debris or grime buildup that prevents the serrations from biting into the material.
Before use, turn the knurled adjustment screw to match the diameter of the object you intend to hold. Lock the pliers onto the object by squeezing the handles until the trigger clicks into place; if the grip is too loose, release, adjust the screw clockwise, and try again. To maintain these tools, wipe them down with a clean, dry rag after every use to remove metal shavings or automotive fluids. Although the nickel-plated finish is corrosion-resistant, applying a light machine oil to the hinge point periodically will ensure the trigger release mechanism operates smoothly for years to come.
