5 Inch Straight Jaw Locking Pliers

• Straight Jaw Profile – Wide and relatively short jaws clamp and hold flat stock, L-angle, and sheet metal in position for welding or assembly • Pull-to-Release Lever – Easily set, release, and reposition the pliers with one hand and with more control than a traditional pinch-style lever • Large Adjustment Knob – The adjustment knob is knurled and round to provide grip for making adjustments even when you’re wearing gloves or have slippery hands • Tensioning Through-Hole – Get extra leverage and fine-tune your clamping force by inserting a screwdriver or hex key into the through-hole to create a T-handle • Strong Jaws and Teeth – The jaws are made from 4140 chromium molybdenum steel, an alloy that offers toughness, machinability, and corrosion resistance; the teeth are hardened to 45–50 HRC and should not chip or strip even on fasteners up to Grade 8 or Class 12.9
Tekton straight jaw locking pliers have wide and relatively short jaws that clamp and hold flat stock, L-angle, and sheet metal in position for welding or assembly. Deep, sharp, regularly-spaced teeth offer an evenly distributed grip on smooth, flat surfaces. Easily set, release, and reposition the clamp with one hand and with more control than a traditional pinch-style lever. Get extra leverage and fine-tune your clamping force by inserting a screwdriver or hex key into the through-hole to create a T-handle. The jaws are made from 4140 chromium molybdenum steel, an alloy that offers toughness, machinability, and corrosion resistance. The teeth are hardened to 45–50 HRC and should not chip or strip even on fasteners up to Grade 8 or Class 12.9. The pliers have a durable, nickel-plated finish that protects against corrosion.
