FAQ
How do I adjust the gripping pressure?
Before engaging the lock, turn the thumb screw at the base of the handle to set the desired jaw opening. The finer you set the opening relative to the workpiece thickness, the tighter the grip when locked. Always release before adjusting to prevent jaw damage.
What is the maximum jaw opening for each size?
The 6-inch model opens to approximately 30mm, the 8-inch to 40mm, and the 10-inch to 50mm. Actual capacity varies by jaw configuration. C-clamp styles may have reduced opening compared to straight jaw models.
Can locking pliers damage the workpiece surface?
The serrated teeth provide maximum grip but can leave marks on finished surfaces. For delicate or finished workpieces, wrap the jaws with tape or use our nylon-jaw variant locking pliers.
Are replacement parts available for worn jaws?
While individual replacement parts are not typically stocked for economy-grade locking pliers, the low unit cost makes replacement of the entire tool more economical. For industrial users requiring parts, contact us for special bulk arrangements.
