IRWIN Tools VISE-GRIP GrooveLock Pliers, Straight Jaw, 12-inch (4935098)

Part of the dependable Irwin VISE-GRIP professional line, the 12-Inch Straight Jaw GrooveLock Pliers employ a unique design to ensure a grip that's both secure and precise. Irwin's Multi-Groove Ratcheting System has an innovative press-and-slide button that allows the pliers to adjust twice as fast as traditional tongue-and-groove pliers. The pliers also features Irwin's trademarked anti-pinch, non-slip ProTouch grips for improved control and user comfort.

The innovative press-and-slide button allows for quick, easy adjustment of the lower jaw, saving you time and frustration. The pliers' versatile straight jaws are ideal for working with flat surfaces and square- or hex-shaped hardware. The jaws' right-angle teeth grip in all directions to help prevent slippage and ensure you avoid damaging the materials at hand.

In addition, the pliers' Multi-Groove Ratcheting System features twice as many groove positions than any other groove-joint pliers, so you get a precise hold as well as more ways for you to hold the pliers. This system's ratcheting action allows the pliers to be adjusted from the open position up to your work piece by pushing the handle up--no need to press the button or reposition.

Precision Parts for Durability and Performance
A metal injection molding (MIM) process is used to create the precision parts that make up the 12-Inch Straight Jaw GrooveLock Pliers. This adds strength and durability to the pliers' build. Because this process allows for the consistent and affordable creation of complicated parts, it also plays a large part in ensuring accurate, reliable performance.
