These needle-nose combination pliers are ideal for all common installation and repair work that involves gripping, bending, holding, pulling, and cutting the workpiece. At a length of 6 inches, these pliers have a slim-head design and anti-twist, pointed jaws, making the pliers useful when working in tough, confined areas. The pliers include a special convex contour on one jaw for a highly secure, three-point grip on workpieces.
These pliers are designed for simple and reliable clamping of 1- and 2-ear clamps. Available in front-jaw, dual-front, and side-jaw options, the pliers are designed to not damage the press points on the ear clamps of a workpiece.
The larger 16-inch Alligator® XL water-pump pliers are distinguished by a forged box-joint design for very high stability, providing a true top and bottom grip that makes for quick and comfortable use.
