SATA ST71302ST Long Nose Locking Pliers 9"

Key specs include a 9-inch length, long nose for precision access, a strong locking mechanism for a secure hold, durable steel construction, adjustable jaw width, ergonomic non-slip cushioned handles, a corrosion-resistant finish, and precision teeth for a firm grip without marring surfaces.

Open the jaw to the approximate size, place it around the workpiece, squeeze the handles to engage the lock, and adjust as needed for a tight, hands-free grip. To release, pull the release lever and let the jaws open slowly.

The long, narrow nose lets you reach into cramped areas and grasp small components with accuracy, while the angled teeth and locking action keep the part firmly held without slipping.
