CRESCENT K-9 V-JAW TONGUE AND GROOVE PLIER - 12"

Crescent K-9 V-jaw tongue and groove pliers grip rounds, hex, and irregular shapes at any angle - the V-cut jaw face seats against the work piece at multiple contact points so the grip does not slip when the workpiece is held off-axis from the handle. A slim jaw profile gives 40% more access in tight spaces compared to standard tongue and groove jaws, and the K-9 jaw geometry maintains full grip strength at the 35-degree off-axis angle that is the typical adjusting position when reaching into a fixture or hose-bib chase.

• Size: 12" (overall plier length)
• Jaw capacity: up to 2-1/2"
• K-9 V-jaw design - grips rounds, hex, and irregular shapes from multiple contact points
• Slim jaw profile - 40% greater access in tight spaces vs standard tongue and groove jaws
• Aggressive tooth pattern - higher torque transfer than standard parallel-tooth jaws
• 8 jaw positions with self-locking adjustment - quick re-set without spring-back during the bite
• GripZone non-marring co-molded handles with built-in tether point for fall protection at height
• Drop-forged steel jaws with chrome finish

Tip: The 12" reaches a 2-1/2" jaw capacity - the right size for larger work: water heater dielectric and supply unions, washer/dryer hose fittings, larger appliance compression nuts, automotive hose clamps, and 2" pipe coupling work where smaller pliers cannot clear the diameter.
