FAQs
What is the primary use for these pliers?
These water pump pliers are primarily designed for plumbing tasks and general gripping applications where a secure hold on various shapes and sizes is required.
How do I adjust the jaw opening?
Squeeze the handles together to open the jaws, then slide the adjustable jaw to your desired width. Release the handles to lock the jaws in place.
Are these pliers suitable for cutting wire?
No, these are tongue-and-groove pliers designed for gripping and turning. They do not have a cutting edge.
What is the benefit of the nickel iron finish?
The nickel iron finish provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and rust, increasing the tool's lifespan and performance in various environments.
Can I use these on small nuts and bolts?
Yes, the 6-position locking head allows for precise adjustments, making them suitable for gripping small to medium-sized nuts and bolts.
What materials are the handles made of?
The handles are made of a combination of Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) for a comfortable, non-slip grip.
Troubleshooting
Jaws do not grip firmly.
Ensure the 6-position lock is securely set and the jaws are fully closed on the object. Check for any debris or obstructions on the jaw surfaces.
Adjustment mechanism is stiff.
Clean the pivot point and sliding groove with a dry cloth. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the mechanism and work the adjustment back and forth.
Pliers show signs of rust.
Wipe away any surface rust with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Clean the affected area and apply a protective oil coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pliers are ready for immediate use out of the box. Simply open the jaws by squeezing the handles and sliding the adjustable jaw to the desired opening. Place the jaws around the object to be gripped and release the handles to lock them in place.
Compatibility: The YT-2070 is designed for general purpose gripping of round, square, and hexagonal objects. It is compatible with plumbing fittings, nuts, bolts, and pipes within its size capacity.
Care: To maintain the anti-corrosion finish and smooth operation, clean the jaws and mechanism with a dry cloth after each use. For long-term storage, a light application of oil on the pivot point and jaws can prevent rust. Avoid exposing the pliers to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
