FAQ
What is the gripping force for each size?
The 7-inch delivers approximately 15kN, 10-inch approximately 22kN, and 12-inch approximately 30kN of clamping force when fully engaged with proper jaw adjustment.
Can these pliers be used for welding duty?
Yes, the Cr-V steel construction and serrated jaws are designed for welding applications. The pliers withstand welding heat and spatter during normal TIG and MIG welding proximity.
Are replacement jaw pads available for delicate surfaces?
The standard serrated jaws are designed for firm gripping. For delicate surfaces, we recommend wrapping jaws with tape or using our nylon-jaw locking pliers variant.
How do I adjust the clamping pressure?
Turn the thumb screw at the handle base before engaging to set jaw opening relative to workpiece thickness. Finer setting equals tighter grip when locked.
