Unlike traditional locking pliers that have to be manually adjusted to work on different-sized materials, ViperGrip™ Locking Pliers' patented, self-adjusting locking jaws automatically adjust and lock onto any size material (up to 1-1/8") to save you time.
ViperGrip's patented cam-assist technology multiplies your hand force 6 times to provide more power, virtually eliminate slippage, and greatly reduce hand and arm fatigue. Compare that to only twice the force with standard tongue-and-groove and slip-joint pliers.
It's a 2-in1 tool - Switch lever makes it easy to switch between using the ViperGrip as a locking pliers and as a non-locking pliers. No need to lug around multiple tools to complete jobs.
Work one-handed - With traditional pliers, you need 2 hands to spread the handles and adjust their jaw size, but the ViperGrip's handles (like a parallel pliers) remain in-line, only 3" apart, to let you work one-handed, giving you a longer reach.
Dial-in the right amount of force: Jaw-force adjustment knob lets you dial-up the power when working with hard materials, and on rusted or stripped bolts; dial-down the power when working with softer materials. V-notched jaw holds round and odd-shaped materials more securely.
