Adjustable pliers AWTools AW31368, 400 mm, adjustable jaw, slip-resistant handle

Adjustable pliers AWTools AW31368, 400 mm, combine a long reach with an adjustable jaw and a slip-resistant handle to provide controlled gripping of nuts, pipes and fasteners. Designed for general mechanical, plumbing and maintenance tasks, these pliers offer a variable jaw opening that adapts to different diameters and profiles while the textured, non-slip grip improves handling during repetitive or heavy tasks. The tool’s length and construction make it suitable for workshop and home use where leverage and reach are required.

Advantages

The adjustable jaw allows quick adaptation to a range of sizes without changing tools, and the 400 mm length increases leverage for loosening tight fittings. A slip-resistant handle enhances user control and reduces the risk of slippage on oily or wet surfaces. Robust construction ensures durability under regular use and supports secure clamping of pipes, bolts and connectors.

Suitable for

• Gripping, turning and holding nuts and bolts of various sizes
• Plumbing work on pipes and fittings
• Maintenance tasks and general mechanical repairs
• Workshop and DIY projects requiring extended reach and leverage

Key specifications

• Total length: 400 mm for increased leverage and reach
• Adjustable jaw opening to accommodate a range of diameters and profiles
• Slip-resistant handle with textured surface for improved grip
• Durable metal construction suitable for regular workshop and home use

How to use

Select a jaw opening that matches the component to be gripped, then position the pliers so the jaws engage the flats or round surface securely. Use the adjustable mechanism to set a snug fit and apply steady force on the handles to turn or hold the part. For pipes and rounded objects, ensure the jaws are aligned to avoid slipping and maintain even pressure across the contact area. Store the pliers in a dry place after use and perform routine cleaning to remove dirt and residues.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when performing heavy or high-torque operations. Avoid using the pliers on highly hardened fasteners or as a substitute for a dedicated pipe wrench when a specialized tool is required.
