How to use

Select the jaw opening to match the nut or parallel surface, then position the smooth jaws squarely on the workpiece. Squeeze the handles to apply the required clamping force and turn or press as needed. For adhesive activation, hold even pressure across the surface. Release the grip by easing the handles apart and reposition if necessary. Use the compact size to work in confined spaces and avoid excessive twisting forces that exceed the tool's intended use.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, inspect the smooth jaws and handle before use, keep the plier clean and free from heavy corrosion, and avoid using the tool as a hammer or prying device. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with adhesives, tiles, or sharp materials.
