Self-Locking Ratchet Pliers

Self-locking ratchet pliers that hold the grip for you

These self-locking ratchet pliers hold their grip so your hand does not have to, which makes repair jobs steadier and less tiring. Close the jaws onto a nut, fitting or workpiece and the ratchet locks them in place; press the quick-release lever and they open again. Beyond clamping, the same 23 cm tool cuts and strips wire, crimps terminals and bends wire, so it can take the place of several tools in your box. The working jaws are made from 55 high-carbon steel and open to about 3.3 cm, and the 13.5 cm handles have a rubber coating for a comfortable hold. The handles are not insulated.

Benefits

• Self-locking ratchet: The jaws lock onto the work and stay put until you release them.
• Quick-release lever: One press opens the jaws again when the job is done.
• Five jobs in one: Grip and clamp, cut wire, strip, crimp terminals and bend.
• High-carbon steel jaws: Working jaws in 55 high-carbon steel for everyday repair work.
• Wide jaw opening: Opens to about 3.3 cm for larger nuts, fittings and parts.
• Rubber-coated handles: 13.5 cm handles with a comfortable rubber coating (not insulated).

Designed for

Designed for DIYers, home mechanics and anyone who keeps a toolbox for everyday repairs. Use them to hold parts while you glue, file or drill, to grip a stubborn fitting, or to cut, strip and crimp wire when making up connections on a bike, trailer or car. As multi-purpose locking pliers, they are a handy size for a kitchen drawer, garage wall or car boot. Please note: the rubber-coated handles are not insulated, so never use these pliers on live electrics. Always switch off and disconnect the power first, wear eye protection and keep your fingers clear of the jaws and the locking mechanism.
