Question 9

How does the GL71102 compare to other curved jaw locking pliers on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

For alternatives, see these comparable options on Fepy: SATA GL71101 Curved Jaw Locking Pliers 6in (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl71101-curved-jaw-locking-pliers-6in) and SATA GL71103 Curved Jaw Locking Pliers 8in (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl71103-curved-jaw-locking-pliers-8in). These differ mainly in jaw size, which affects reach and clamping power in tight spaces.

Question 10

How does the GL71102 differ from a straight-jaw locking plier in terms of use cases?

Accepted Answer

The curved jaw excels at gripping rounded or irregular objects and provides improved clearance when working around contours, offering better contact on non-flat surfaces. If you’re working with straight-edged parts, a straight-jaw model such as SATA GL71104 (8in) may be more suitable.

Question 11

What other options on Fepy should I consider if I need a similar tool in a different size?

Accepted Answer

If you’re looking for similar tools in other sizes, consider SATA GL71101 (6in curved jaw) at https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl71101-curved-jaw-locking-pliers-6in and SATA GL71103 (8in curved jaw) at https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl71103-curved-jaw-locking-pliers-8in for wider reach and gripping range.

Question 12

What should I consider when choosing between sizes and jaw types for my project?

Accepted Answer

Consider the size and shape of the objects you’ll grip (rounded, irregular, small, or large), the space you’ll work in (tight vs open), and how much reach you need. Curved jaws are great for irregular shapes and space with contouring parts, while straight jaws grip flat surfaces more predictably. Matching size to typical task scale helps balance control and gripping power.

Question 13

Can I return this tool if it doesn’t meet my expectations?

Accepted Answer
