How to use

Select an appropriate jaw position by sliding the movable jaw along the tongue-and-groove slot until the jaws match the component size. Close the handles until the jaws securely engage the workpiece, maintaining a firm but controlled grip to apply turning force. Adjust leverage by changing the hand position on the handles when additional torque is needed. After use, release the jaws and store the pliers in a dry place to protect the finish and moving parts.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers within their jaw capacity to avoid damaging the tool or the workpiece; avoid excessive force on fasteners with soft heads. For plumbing joints, protect visible pipe surfaces with a cloth if surface marks are a concern. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the joint to maintain smooth adjustment and prolong service life.
