These 175mm IRWIN® Vise-Grip® Curved Jaw Locking Pliers are the compact size in the range, perfect for working in restricted spaces and handling smaller to medium-sized components. The 175mm length offers excellent control and precision whilst still providing the gripping power needed for professional applications. Featuring a unique self-energising lower jaw, these pliers deliver three times more gripping power than traditional locking pliers, with absolutely no slipping or stripping. They establish multiple contact points for a significantly tighter grip, making them especially well-suited for greasy work environments. The patented curved jaw securely grips multiple surface shapes including round pipes, square or hex bolts and more. The slotted geometry exponentially increases torque for more secure clamping.
