This 3-piece set of 12-inch locking pliers by AB Tools is designed for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and trade professionals who need to reach deep into confined engine bays or industrial machinery. The set offers exceptional clamping force and reach, though its primary caveat is the extended length, which may feel awkward to maneuver in extremely cramped spaces compared to standard-sized grips.

Each tool in this 3-piece set measures 12 inches (300mm) in total length.
These pliers feature aggressive serrated jaws designed for maximum grip; they may mar or scratch soft surfaces.
They are manufactured from high-quality chrome vanadium steel.
Yes, they are designed for both commercial and occasional trade use.
No, the set is provided as loose tools, so it is recommended to keep them in a standard tool chest or roll.
Adjust the knurled screw at the handle base clockwise to increase jaw tension until the locking action snaps firmly.
Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the release pivot point and work the trigger several times to loosen trapped debris.
To set these tools up for use, first turn the knurled adjustment screw at the base of the handle until the jaws fit the object. Test the lock—it should snap shut with a distinct click. For maintenance, keep the moving parts lubricated with a light machine oil to prevent sticking. After working in greasy or dirty environments, wipe the tools down with a solvent-dampened cloth to remove grit from the jaw teeth and release mechanism. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion, even though the alloy is high-strength.
