IRWIN Tools 2078120 20-Inch GrooveLock Pliers

Part of the dependable Irwin VISE-GRIP professional line, the Irwin 20-Inch V-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 20-Inch 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 V-shape of the jaws offers multipurpose performance and helps you handle round pieces, as well as square- or hex-shaped hardware. The jaws' right-angle teeth grip in all directions to help prevent slippage and ensure you avoid damaging the materials at hand.

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.

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.
