OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Heavy-Duty Locking Pliers for Industrial Maintenance

The Irwin Vise-Grip 10" Curved Jaw Locking Pliers with Wire Cutter (Model 10WR / 502L3) represents the gold standard in locking hand tools. For decades, the Vise-Grip name has been synonymous with quality, durability, and unmatched gripping power. This 10-inch model is designed for the toughest industrial and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) applications, providing the leverage and force required to tackle stubborn bolts, rusted fasteners, and irregular materials.

Constructed from high-grade, heat-treated alloy steel, these pliers are built to withstand the rigors of daily professional use. The defining feature of this tool is its curved jaw design. Unlike straight jaw pliers, the curved jaw is engineered to apply tremendous pressure on four distinct points of any style nut or bolt head. This makes it exceptionally effective for turning rounded-off bolts or gripping pipes where other tools would slip. The hardened teeth are designed to bite into the material from any angle, ensuring a secure hold even under extreme torque.

Versatility is key in any toolbox, and the 10WR model delivers with its integrated wire cutter. Located at the base of the jaws, this cutter allows users to snip wire, small cables, and fasteners without switching tools, streamlining workflow and increasing efficiency. The tool features the classic trigger release mechanism, which is designed to provide maximum locking force while ensuring the tool stays locked until you are ready to release it. The guarded release trigger helps prevent accidental opening, adding a layer of safety to your work.

Adjustment is precise and easy thanks to the hex key adjusting screw. By tightening the screw, you can adjust the pressure to fit the workpiece exactly and draw materials together for a controlled release. Whether you are a plumber, mechanic, or general contractor, the Irwin Vise-Grip 10" Curved Jaw Locking Pliers are an essential addition to your kit, offering the reliability and strength needed to get the job done right.
