This four-piece set of Draper Tools self-grip pliers is designed for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and tradespeople needing a reliable way to hold objects securely. The key benefit is their adjustable opening mechanism with a quick-release lever, offering versatility and ease of use. A potential caveat is that while manufactured from good quality steel, they are not intended for extremely heavy-duty industrial applications where specialized tools might be required. The set includes two curved jaw pliers, one straight jaw plier, and one long nose plier, all featuring hardened and tempered jaws with serrated gripping surfaces for maximum hold.

The set includes two curved jaw self-grip pliers (140mm and 190mm), one 220mm straight jaw self-grip plier, and one 170mm long nose self-grip plier.
There is an adjustment screw on the handle. Turn this screw to open or close the jaws to the desired width before locking them onto the workpiece.
The jaws are manufactured from good quality steel that has been hardened and tempered for strength and durability.
Press the quick-release lever, usually located near the handle pivot point, to unlock the jaws.
While made from quality steel, they are best suited for general-purpose workshop and DIY tasks. For extremely heavy-duty industrial applications, specialized tools may be more appropriate.
Yes, the serrated gripping surfaces are designed to provide a strong hold on various shapes, including rounded ones, provided they are properly tightened.
After use, wipe them clean and dry. Periodically apply a light oil to the metal parts, especially the adjustment screw and lever mechanism, and store them in a dry location.
Ensure the adjustment screw is set correctly for the object's size. Check that the quick-release lever is fully disengaged before attempting to lock the jaws.
Clean any debris from the lever mechanism. Apply a small amount of penetrating oil or lubricant to the pivot point and lever interface. Work the lever back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Ensure the serrated surfaces are clean and free of oil or grease. For difficult materials, ensure the jaws are tightened sufficiently using the adjustment screw. Check that the object is not excessively worn or rounded.
Clean the rust using fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Wipe the affected area clean and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further corrosion. Store the pliers in a dry place.
Setup:
These pliers require no assembly. To use, adjust the jaw opening by turning the screw located on the handle until the jaws are the desired width apart. Then, apply pressure to the handles to lock the jaws onto the workpiece. To release, press the quick-release lever.
Compatibility:
This set is designed for general-purpose gripping and holding of various materials such as metal, plastic, and wood. They are compatible with a wide range of common workshop and household tasks.
