Part of the dependable Irwin VISE-GRIP professional line, the 10-Inch Smooth Jaw GrooveLock Pliers employ a unique design to ensure a grip that's both secure and precise. Irwin's Multi-Groove Ratcheting System has an innovative press-and-slide button that allows the pliers to adjust twice as fast as traditional tongue-and-groove pliers. The pliers also features Irwin's trademarked anti-pinch, non-slip ProTouch grips for improved control and user comfort.

Innovative Design Ensures Precision and Easy Handling

Irwin recognizes that effective pliers need to securely grip a variety of surfaces and also need to sit comfortably in your hand. Irwin's 10-Inch Smooth Jaw GrooveLock Pliers delivers on both fronts.

The innovative press-and-slide button allows for quick, easy adjustment of the lower jaw, saving you time and frustration. The pliers' versatile smooth jaws are ideal for working with flat surfaces and square- or hex-shaped hardware.

In addition, the pliers' Multi-Groove Ratcheting System features twice as many groove positions than any other groove-joint pliers, so you get a precise hold as well as more ways for you to hold the pliers. This system's ratcheting action allows the pliers to be adjusted from the open position up to your work piece by pushing the handle up--no need to press the button or reposition.

Precision Parts for Durability and Performance

A metal injection molding (MIM) process is used to create the precision parts that make up the 10-Inch Smooth Jaw GrooveLock Pliers. This adds strength and durability to the pliers' build. Because this process allows for the consistent and affordable creation of complicated parts, it also plays a large part in ensuring accurate, reliable performance.

Pro Touch Grips Provide Comfort and Control

A tool can only perform accurately if you're in complete control of it, and Irwin's trademarked ProTouch grips make it easy to handle the 10-Inch Smooth Jaw GrooveLock Pliers. Their non-slip, anti-pinch handle design provides improved comfort and control. Furthermore, since the well-balanced pliers operates comfortably, you can look forward to less hand fatigue when working on extended tasks and repetitive jobs.

While each pair of GrooveLock pliers is versatile enough to handle a wide variety of tasks, Irwin offers GrooveLock pliers in a variety of sizes with straight, smooth, and V-shaped jaws, so you can select the configurations that best match your most common applications.
