SATA ST71002 10" X-Jaw Locking Pliers

The X-Jaw design adapts to irregular shapes and sizes, providing a secure grip on round, flat, or odd-shaped objects. This design distributes clamping pressure more evenly than traditional jaws, reducing slipping and increasing torque transfer during use.

It’s built from chrome molybdenum steel with a corrosion-resistant chrome finish. This combination offers high strength, durability, and long service life, even in tough working environments.

Use the adjustment screw to set the desired clamping force before locking. Squeeze the handles to engage the locking mechanism; the one-handed operation is enabled by the ergonomic design and the built-in release lever for quick disengagement.

Yes. The straight jaw includes an integral wire cutter, allowing you to cut small-diameter wires or remove stubborn wires without switching to a separate tool.

It's well-suited for automotive work, plumbing, metal fabrication, and general DIY tasks that require secure gripping, twisting, or turning of various materials, especially where a strong, non-slip hold is needed.

The built-in safety lock keeps the jaws securely closed during use, preventing accidental release and helping to maintain a stable grip while you work. Releasing the lock safely allows for quick disengagement.

Keep the tool clean and dry after use, wipe off any debris, and apply a light layer of oil to the pivot points periodically. Store in a dry location to prevent rust and inspect the adjustment screw and release lever for smooth operation.
