Product Information
Full details
This 3-piece Laser Tools Locking Grip Wrench Set is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need reliable, strong gripping power for a variety of tasks.

FAQs
What are the sizes of the wrenches in this set?
The set includes three locking grip wrenches with lengths of 125mm, 175mm, and 255mm.
What material are the jaws made of?
The jaws are made of chrome molybdenum, known for its strength and durability.
How do I adjust the grip on the wrench?
You adjust the grip by squeezing the adjustment lever to open the jaws, placing them around the object, and then releasing the lever. The tension can be fine-tuned using the adjustment screw.
Are these wrenches suitable for plumbing tasks?
Yes, their secure grip makes them effective for holding pipes and fittings during plumbing work.
How should I maintain these wrenches to prevent rust?
Regularly clean them with a dry cloth after use, ensure they are dried thoroughly if washed, and apply a light machine oil to the moving parts periodically. Store them in a dry place.
Can these wrenches grip rounded or stripped bolts?
Yes, the locking mechanism and adjustable jaws are designed to provide a strong grip on various shapes, including rounded or stripped fasteners.
What is the main advantage of locking grip wrenches over standard wrenches?
Locking grip wrenches provide a continuous, hands-free grip on an object, allowing for greater torque application and freeing up the user's other hand. Standard wrenches require continuous manual pressure to maintain grip.
Troubleshooting
Wrench not locking firmly
Ensure the adjustment screw is tightened sufficiently. Check for any debris or damage around the jaw mechanism and clean if necessary. Verify the object being gripped is suitable for the wrench's capacity.
Jaws slipping during use
Increase the grip tension by adjusting the locking screw. Ensure the jaws are properly seated on the object and that the object's surface is not excessively smooth or oily.
Difficulty adjusting jaws
Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the adjustment screw and mechanism. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then try adjusting again. Clean any accumulated dirt or rust.
Nickel plating showing wear
While normal for heavy use, reduce excessive scraping against other metal surfaces. Clean and dry the tool after use to minimize further wear and potential corrosion.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, open the jaws by squeezing the adjustment lever. Place the jaws around the object needing to be gripped and then release the lever to lock the jaws. Adjust the locking screw for the desired grip tension before fully engaging the locking mechanism.
Compatibility: These wrenches are compatible with a wide range of nut, bolt, pipe, and irregular shapes due to their adjustable jaw design. They are suitable for use in automotive, plumbing, and general workshop environments.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
- Clean Regularly: After each use, wipe the wrenches clean with a dry cloth to remove debris. For stubborn grime, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring the tool is dried thoroughly afterward.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot points and the adjustment screw mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the wrenches in a dry environment, preferably in a toolbox or on a tool rack, to prevent corrosion and damage.
