Irwin shares the top 10 benefits and uses for the latest addition to its VISE-GRIP locking pliers range.
Said to combine innovation and quality, Irwin VISE-GRIP locking pliers are constructed of high-grade heat-treated alloy steel to offer maximum toughness and durability, and hardened teeth designed to grip from any angle.
The newest addition to the range is the VISE-GRIP Fast-Release Curved Jaw, which is available in two core models: Fast Release, with a one-handed, triggerless release featuring anti-pinch, non-slip ProTouch Grips; and Original, with a classic trigger release.
So let’s look at the top 10 benefits and uses of the Fast-Release Curved Jaw Locking Plier:
- Curved jaw
Great for securely gripping and torqueing multiple surface shapes, including round pipes, square, or hex bolts. - Provides maximum torque without requiring heavy input pressure
The jaw mechanism naturally grips tighter as more torque is applied to the tool resulting in more clamping power. - Hex key adjusting screw
Tightens to draw material closer together and loosens to provide a controlled release. - ProTouch grip
The moulded handles are anti-pinch and non-slip to provide comfort, control and less hand fatigue. - Self-energising lower jaw
The jaw mechanism provides three times more gripping power. The pivot allows jaw to align on workpiece for maximum grip without slipping or stripping. - Fast release handle
Allows for a one-handed, triggerless release with no pinch points, making it twice as easy to open as traditional locking pliers. - Multi-talented
The Curved Jaw Locking Plier is ideal for multiple jobs including wire cutting, pulling, prying and gripping. - Nut/bolt adjustment
The tool is ideal for extreme four-point pressure on frozen nuts and bolts, tightening pipes on radiators, and much more. - Works in the wet
It performs brilliantly in wet and greasy environments. - Easy manoeuvrability
The tool is ideal for manoeuvring in tight spaces where a worker cannot easily get two hands on a tool.
The Irwin VISE-GRIP Fast-Release Curved Jaw is available in 125, 175 and 250mm variants, whilst the Irwin VISE-GRIP Fast-Release Curved Jaw with wire cutter is available in 100, 125, 175 and 250mm versions.
