About This Product
Slip-joint pliers grip nuts, bolts, pipes and round stock of different sizes, since moving the pivot to the second position opens the jaws wider. In a school or college workshop they are a general-purpose hand tool for assembly work, and the notch near the pivot can cut light wire.
