8-Inch V-Jaw Locking Pliers for Multi-Shape Gripping

These 8-inch locking pliers use a V-jaw design to grip round, flat, square and hex workpieces. The press-and-slide button adjusts the lower jaw quickly while the Multi-Groove Ratcheting System provides twice the adjustment positions of standard tongue-and-groove pliers. ProTouch grips reduce hand fatigue during extended use. Suitable for trade and DIY tasks requiring a secure, adjustable hold.

Jaw Capacity and Ratcheting Adjustment Range

The pliers open to an 8-inch jaw capacity and offer a 11.3-inch jaw width for broad workpieces. The ratcheting action lets you advance the jaws from the open position up to the workpiece without re-pressing the button. The single-position lock holds the setting firmly. Very large or deeply recessed fasteners may exceed the reach of the 10.3-inch handle length.

Blue Finish, ProTouch Grips and Compact Storage

The blue finish resists corrosion in workshop environments. ProTouch grips provide a non-slip surface that stays comfortable during repetitive clamping. Overall dimensions of 1.4 by 9.6 by 25.7 centimetres allow the tool to fit in standard toolbox drawers or pouches. The locking mechanism engages with one hand for quick setup and release.

Questions about this item

Will the 10.3-inch handles give enough leverage when I am using the pliers on an older 1/2-inch drive ratchet?

The 10.3-inch handles provide substantial leverage for the 8-inch jaw capacity, and the V-Jaw profile grips round, flat, square and hex shapes so the pliers can hold a ratchet head or fastener without slipping.

How can I confirm the Multi-Groove Ratcheting System is engaging correctly after I first open the box?

Open the pliers, push the handle up and listen for distinct clicks as the lower jaw ratchets through each position; the press-and-slide button should also release the jaw smoothly when pressed.

Does the single unit include any extra jaws or a storage case, or do I need to buy them separately?

The box contains one 2078108 V-Jaw Locking Pliers with ProTouch Grips; no additional jaws, case or accessories are included.
