Stanley Fatmax Plumbing Pliers - 300mm - Black/Yellow

The jaws are made of durable, heat-treated carbon steel and feature induction hardening for enhanced strength and grip.

The product description does not specify a maximum jaw opening size, but the adjustable groove joint is designed to accommodate a range of common pipe sizes.

These pliers are specifically designed for plumbing tasks and are not insulated for electrical work. Use appropriate insulated tools for electrical applications.

The groove joint can be adjusted by moving the jaws apart or together. The locking mechanism helps to hold the selected jaw opening.

Drop-forged means the steel is heated and hammered into shape, creating a stronger, more durable tool compared to casting.

Yes, these pliers are suitable for gripping both metal and plastic pipes commonly used in plumbing.

The pliers conform to DIN safety standards, which are recognized international standards for tool safety and quality.

Ensure the jaw opening is correctly adjusted for the pipe or fitting. Clean any debris or grease from the jaw teeth. Check if the toothed surface is excessively worn; if so, replacement may be necessary.

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot and locking components. Work the mechanism back and forth several times to help distribute the lubricant. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.

Wipe the bi-material grip with a clean, dry cloth. If the grip is compromised due to grease or oil, clean with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly.
